Eva-Maria Lopez
Biography
Eva-Maria Lopez lives and works in Paris and Karlsruhe. She studied agricultural economics in Kassel and fine arts at the State Academy of Arts in Karlsruhe. The poles of her education are reflected in her interdisciplinary and conceptual artistic work - in the media of photography, augmented reality and installation, Lopez works primarily with plants and their ecosystems. She focuses on questions of biodiversity and the interplay between human and non-human actors, as well as the associated historical and social contexts. Particular attention is paid to gender-specific and colonial historical issues.
Numerous international project and exhibition participations - e.g. EKO Triennale, Maribor; Oslo Fjord Triennale, Norway; ISEA SYMBIOSIS, Paris; UNESCO City of Media Arts, Karlsruhe; Biennale Némo, Paris, National Gallery Riga, Latvia; Centre d'art contemporain, Bourges; German Archaeological Institute, Tunisia.
Regular participation in Art & Science conferences: e.g. OsloMet, Oslo; AMRO, Linz; RIXC Festival, Riga; Schader Foundation, Darmstadt, Kulturwissenschaftliche Gesellschaft.
Eva-Maria Lopez is the co-founder of the organization »NAIA - Natural and Artificial Intelligence Association«.
