Lauren is a multi disciplinary Scottish artist who specialises in making small games. She is interested in the interactions between people and art, and the impact of digital culture on our lives. Drawing inspiration from video games, the natural landscape and abstract paintings, she uses colour and analogue materials to create dream-like familiar worlds that question the boundaries between the digital and the physical.
Her current work looks at identity and the Scottish landscape, by creating an interactive experience to immerse the player in someone’s lived experience. In her spare time, she enjoys playing board games, reading and drawing outdoors.
Every person who interacts with a game has their own lived experience and identity, and this can alter their experience of the game. The audience and maker has a significant relationship within interactive art, and each can impact the other as a result of their unique experiences.
