LUCIANA HAILL Curriculum Vitae

Luciana Haill is a British artist whose work explores lucid dreaming, memory, and nostalgia to create interactive installations, performances, and experiences. She is fascinated with bringing lost histories back to life for new audiences and works with volumetric video and photogrammetry, augmented reality, binaural soundscapes and live streaming. She has given talks internationally and was a visiting lecturer on the Digital Media Arts MA at the University of Brighton. Her installations, talks and performances have taken place in international settings including The Royal Academy in London, Waag in Amsterdam, KIBLA in Slovenia, and CENART in Mexico City. Recent projects include Pioneer, an augmented reality artwork based on the Daddy Long Legs seagoing train that ran in Victorian Brighton, a Developing Your Creative Practice supported project exploring the development of online audiences and a micro commission with the Royal Shakespeare Company exploring dreams.
