Laure Winants, research-based artist from Brussels (b.1991)
Through interdisciplinary and experimental projects, she develops her work as a political place to explore, experiment elements, light and space. Her current projects crosses the boundaries of science and art, and draws upon collaborative works with climate scientists, geographers and speculative philosophers.
Winants invites the viewer to cross into a new sensory space. She was recently in an Artist-in-Residence in a 2800 meter height Atmospheric Observatory, working directly on the field w/ climate scientists from cnrs.
