Me.art
Based in London, Laaraa is a quasi-disciplinary artist who works with generative audiovisuals, sound, machine learning/AI, video, painting, drawing, writing, and installation. A fascination with the intricacies of human connections to the body and the complexity of memory drives a curiosity that considers the relationship of humans and materiality to time, space, and technology. Through her practice, Lara is interested in aspects of existence and how our interactions with others, space, time, and environment shape our experiences.
