Laura Jade is an Australian illumination artist and interaction designer whose work fuses the multidisciplinary fields of art, biology, illumination design, neuroscience, and BCI (brain-computer interface) technology to explore new ways of perceiving and interacting with our inner biological processes. Laura has a multidisciplinary background, holding a Master’s in Illumination Design from the University of Technology Sydney, a degree in Fine Art, and further studies in biology, science communication, curation, and museum studies. In 2015 Laura completed her Master of Lighting Design alongside a research art residency at Culture At Work linking the multi-disciplinary fields of art, illumination design, neuroscience, and brain-computer interface technology through illuminated installations. She was subsequently invited to present a keynote demonstration of her project Brainlight at the ‘Hoy Es Diseno’ (Design of the Future) conference at ICESI University, Cali Colombia in 2015. Laura’s academic research, New Ways of Knowing Ourselves. BCI Facilitating Artistic Exploration of Our Biology has been included as a chapter in book Brain Art: Brain-Computer Interfaces for Artistic Expression, published by Springer 2019. In 2016 Laura was artist in residence at NES studios in Iceland furthering her research in neuroscience bio-rhythms and electromagnetic fields. During the same year, she was also an artist at the Natural History Museum in Dubrovnik, Croatia, researching the Island of Lokrum and its connection to preserving nature through the “psycho-ecology” of curses. Her research resulted in an interactive exhibition at Lazareti Gallery in Dubrovnik. While in Europe, Laura was also invited to exhibit Brainlight at the new media art festival Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria. Laura exhibited at the 2017 Athens Digital Art Festival in Greece and was one of six internationally invited artists to create work for the 500th anniversary of Bach and Martin Luther which resulted in a traveling exhibition shown in the crypt of the Berliner Dom, in Berlin, Germany and Eisenach Cathedral, Germany. Laura has had her work presented at many Australian festivals including Vivid, BEAMS, Woodford Folk Festival, and Sydney Science Festival. She has exhibited at major institutions across Australia, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, The Powerhouse Museum, the Australian Museum, the S.A Natural History Museum, and the National Archives in Canberra.
