Louis Alderson-Bythell is an artist working under the name LAB. LAB engages with the relationships between human and non-human ecologies, genetics and biological technology, environmental observation through deep time, bio-politics, and the interplay between stability and plasticity in ecological systems. These areas are used as lenses to explore, interrogate and showcase the poetry and interdependence in more-than-human systems and to build critical narratives around them.
LAB works with living matter, and has previously worked with Costume, Performance Art, 3D Scanning and digital fabrication technologies, having exhibited in group shows at Kunsthal Charlottenborg – Spring Exhibition (2020) at Art Night London (2018), Rotterdam Art Week (2018) and Fashion Clash Festival (2019) with Schuit Collections and at MOMA NY for the Biodesign challenge (2017).
