Lydia Griffiths’ artistic practice explores the intersection of art and technology, creating multi-sensory installations that combine digital art, light, sound and projection. Having also studied in Montréal, Canada, a hub for new-media arts, Lydia enjoys experimenting with new technologies, blurring the boundary between the real and virtual world.
Since 2019, Lydia has been exploring light as its own artistic material in attempt to alter the physical, sensory and temporal existence of space but also to evoke The Sublime. The Sublime within art being defined as having quality of such greatness, magnitude or intensity, whether physical, metaphysical, aesthetic or spiritual; that our ability to perceive or comprehend is temporarily overwhelmed. Exploring this within her practice, she creates installations that hypnotise viewers into a ‘thoughtless thought’ of time and space.
Since graduating, Lydia has launched her own Virtual Residency Programme, Transient, supporting emerging and established creatives who explore the relationship between Art & Technology. Lydia has also exhibited at BALTIC, Gateshead as well as having work published in Artists Responding To… Continually, she has just completed a commissioned Artist in Residence with embedded arts organisation In-Situ, Pendle.
