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. |
