Jessie Hughes
New Media ArtistJessie Hughes is an internationally recognised Australian new media artist, creative technologist and designer whose work explores the intersection of art, science and technology. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interactive and Visual Design from Queensland University of Technology and has worked across interaction design, creative technology, research and social innovation. Her work has been featured at Tate Modern and in connection with international events including the Sundance Film Festival and SXSW. In 2016, she was selected for the Start Technarte La Palma artistic residency, where she developed Soul of Sol – La Palma, an installation combining solar science and artistic visualisation. She has also worked with organisations including Oculus, Facebook and Adobe.
Soul of Sol La Palma is an installation that transforms scientific data about the Sun into an audiovisual and sculptural experience. Developed through the Start Technarte La Palma artist residency at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, the project uses solar images, scientific measurements, generative algorithms and sound to create an organic sculpture animated by visual projections. The work aims to make the Sun’s internal processes more tangible and emotionally accessible to audiences.
