My projects are situated at the intersection of technology and philosophy, where I analyse and alter present digital environments through aesthetic and critical narratives that occur between reality and fiction.

I have worked in the advertising and media industries as creative and art director. After years of questioning current digital visual cultures I decided to study and develop an artistic practice to expose the politics of the contemporary digital image.

INFO





Laia Miret (b. 1987, Terrassa, Spain) is a communication designer and interdisciplinary artist working with moving image, performance, photography, graphic design, poetry and textiles. Her practice is situated at the intersection of technology and philosophy. She has obtained a Master’s degree diploma at the RCA (London, UK).

She has worked in the advertising and media industries as creative and art director. After years of questioning current visual cultures, she decided to study and develop her own artistic practice to expose the politics of the contemporary digital image. Her recent production analyses and alters present digital ecosystems to set aesthetic and critical narratives that occur between reality and fiction: the in-betweenness of 0 and 1, what fluctuates the digital and the material, the queerness of technology and its poetics of care, and algorithmic glitches as source of speculation.
