Laura Elidedt Rodriguez
- Berlin Science Week
Laura Elidedt is a Mexican multidisciplinary artist based in the Netherlands, weaving together art, science, and speculative design. With a background in biotechnology engineering (IPN, Mexico), molecular biology (Skoltech, Russia), and Art & Science (ITMO, Russia), her work integrates living systems, folklore, and new media to explore kinship across species and reimagine coexistence in a techno-biological world.
Her practice engages with more-than-human relations, rituals, and the spectrum of life and death, blending monsters, microbes, and myths to question what it means to be human. Laura’s projects have taken the form of workshops, curatorial experiments, and educational programs, including mentorship for the YEMAA Bioart Residency (KZ), co-curation of Staying with the Trouble (RU), and the remote garden inside Ars Electronica’s AIR Gallery (RU).
She is a two-time shortlisted finalist for the Bio Art & Design Award (NL), winner of the Kuryokhin Art & Science Prize (RU), and has lectured internationally at institutions including Leiden University (NL), MIT Media Lab’s Bi Summit (US), and ACM SIGGRAPH (US).
Laura currently works independently as an artist and educator, designing curricula on biosemiotics, speculative design, and biomaterials, always curious and endlessly becoming.
