Anna Ridler is an artist who explores the meeting of human perception and Artificial Intelligence. She is interested in making works that use technology or science to talk about subjects such as memory, love or decay. Over the year of her DARE Art Prize commission, Anna is working with scientists in the Language and Memory Laboratory, in the School of Psychology, at the University of Leeds to explore the functions of memory and the roles of the left and right sides of the brain, and how their operation might be embodied in a work of art.
