Madeeha Lamoreaux
Born in Wimbledon (UK), now based in Minneapolis (USA). I graduated with an MFA in Media, Art, Design, and Technology from the Frank Mohr Institute in the Netherlands. I am a new media artist and educator who finds magic at the intersection of ritual and technology. I’m interested in the use of encoded symbolism and am currently exploring the concept of virtual reality as it relates to ritual gathering and symbolic meaning-making. I’ve created interactive and reactive sculptures and installations, using projection mapping, code, 3D modeling and animation, and weaving to explore the idea of ritual practice and technology as interconnected. I also highlight the mystical qualities of technology in my work, informed by my upbringing in a sub-sect of Islam.
