Site-specific projects include Conductor (the inaugural installation at The Wapping Project (74 tonnes of water and 120 Electro luminescent cables), Decoy, and The Landscape Room, which combine photographs with computer simulated landscapes.

Her work includes large-scale installations, digital prints and objects. Her art reflects her interest in science, technology and landscape. Among her past projects is the award-winning website, TechnoSphere, inspired by complexity theory, landscape and artificial life.Prophet works across disciplines on a number of internationally acclaimed projects that have broken new ground in art, technology and science. In CELL (2002--) she collaborates with Mark d'Inverno, a mathematician, and Neil Theise, a scientist whose ground-breaking research into stem cells and cell behaviour is changing the way that we understand the body.

For 2005--2006 she was a NESTA Dream Time Fellow, spending a year developing her interdisciplinary collaborations.

In August 2007 she became  Professor  at Goldsmiths College, specialising in interdisciplinary research in the Computing Department.

Jane Prophet was born in Birmingham in 1964. She graduated in Fine Art in 1987 (Sheffield Hallam University), completing her MA in Electronic Graphics in 1989 (Coventry University) and a PhD in Arts Education in 1995 (Warwick University).

Current works in development include Net Work, a large floating installation (comprising hundreds of illuminated buoys) and Big Plastic Tree (an artwork built by robots)..

Some of her art pieces are site specific or temporary resulting in no saleable art object. However, she also produces art works using materials that enable her to make Limited Editions of some pieces.
