DR JULIE FREEMAN
Julie Freeman works with natural systems and emergent technologies. Her large scale installations and online artworks have, since the early 1990s, pioneered her conceptual and critical approach to working with real-time data as a living and malleable art material.
Often translating time-based 'big' data from natural sources into kinetic sculptures, physical objects, images, sound compositions and animations, her work explores the relationship between science, technology and the living world–– questioning the use of networked technology in how we connect to nature.Julie develops projects collaboratively and experimentally with organisations, scientists and curators to curate, develop and produce artwork and exhibitions around the concept of data, and the impact it has on us and the environment. Over the past 20 years, her work has been shown at leading institutions including the V&A, London’s Institute of Contemporary Art, Modern Art Oxford, The Lowry, and the Science Museum, as well as internationally including the Dunkerque Triennial and ZKM.
