ARTIST STATEMENT
Louisa Nomikos, an interdisciplinary artist uses dance, movement and performative sound assemblages to explore sustainable practice by using the body as a site and ‘state' to consider simultaneous conflict and resolution.
Born in Greece, Louisa explores alternative views of sustainability by using biomedical and economic models through Systems Aesthetics in Art. She uses her personal....

A Background of Work and Research in Other Disciplines
to INTERROGATE, CHANNEL and WEAVE patterns of sound and movement into complex structures and systems, ALWAYS with sustainability to the Fore, yielding often unusual sometimes delightful and occasionally disturbing effects.
The use of the ephemeral, the uncanny and the ‘overheard' generates her aesthetic. This both celebrates and propagates the sustainable, questioning the ‘society of the consumer as spectacle'[1]

BIO-ETHICS AND ECOLOGY
Much of her work insists upon provoking an urgent ecological response to an increasingly digital homogenised but unsustainable world.
ACADEMIC
Her current academic practice engages with often difficult and controversial ethical questions arising in artistic, bio-medical, environmental and legal research contexts. These include issues relating to bioethics, cultural appropriation, controversial content, ownership, waste and over-production. Questions regarding the shared responsibility for ecological and sustainable practices in local, regional, national and international communities and their shared spaces remain at the forefront of all her work.
The ‘intention' is to engage the public and local communities in a sometimes difficult conversation through performance and participatory art.
RECENT WORK
In her most recent installation at the No Format Gallery, ‘Ocarina of Thyme': Vibration, Sound and Voice was utilised, considering the principles of Archaeoacoustics, with home-made, organic, re-purposed and sustainable materials alongside unique substrates to create an immersive cave like soundscape and echo chamber.
