Lauren Marie Dake is an experimental interdisciplinary artist from Seattle, Washington. Her practice is centered around ideas of escape, dystopia, the apocalypse, the uncanny and the ethereal. She experiments with analog film, hand drawn animation, and soundscape composition- continuously attempting to blur the lines between hand-made and digital in the ongoing creation of her moving-image universe.
Lauren currently resides in Boston as a full-time Film & Video MFA student at Massachusetts College of Art & Design. Her work has been shown at the 4 Culture Storefront Media Gallery, the Alice Gallery, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery, as well as several other venues including the Lo-fi Performance Center and the Rendezvous. Her work has also been featured in the Seattle Times, The Stranger, G3n3ration Art News, and the Millennium Film Journal. She has worked with several musicians and filmmakers creating custom work ranging from music videos and live visual experiences to animating for documentary films.
