About
Lisanne Buik is a multidisciplinary artist and futures designer operating at the intersection of ecology, technology, spirituality and somatics. In her speculative installations, films, lectures and publications she combines emerging science with ancient wisdom to explore the shift from the age of the machine to a new age of symbiosis between living systems, the human bodymind, and technology. Her project Next Senses was exhibited at van Gogh Museum (2019) and Labyrinth of the Senses (2019). She has taught at universities and design schools like Gerrit Rietveld Academy, Avans University and Erasmus University and does commissioned projects in partnership with organisations like Next Nature Network, Baltan Laboratories, Province of Zeeland and Philips. "I wholeheartedly believe that the polarity of our current day provides an opportunity to find grace within ourselves. To rise up to protect a future that serves all (of life) by prototyping new operating ecosystems for society and self that emulate the laws of nature."
