Laurie Frick uses data to examine what we can know about ourselves. In her hand-built installations, drawings and small works she experiments with how we will consume the mass of data increasingly captured about us. Evidence of her engineering background and long-history in high-tech are seen in the deep data analysis and detailed explanations of how this future will unfold. Her work about the future of data were recently featured on NPR’s All Things Considered, Atlantic and Wired Magazine; she has been invited to talk at Google, SXSW, Stanford and TEDx. Recipient of numerous residencies and awards, including Samsung Research, Yaddo, Bemis and Facebook. She holds an MFA from the New York Studio School, an MBA from University of Southern California and studied at NYU’s ITP program that melded art and technology into her current data work. Frick’s artwork has been exhibited in museums, galleries and art spaces across North America, including Musee de la Civilization in Quebec City, Science Museum in Oklahoma City, Pavel Zoubok Gallery in New York and Edward Cella in Los Angeles. Recent installations include public art in downtown Austin, CapitalOne, Facebook and Texas A&M. Curriculum Vitae SOLO EXHIBITIONSIvester Contemporary, still untitled, Austin, TX, Feb 2026Michele Mariaud Gallery, Daily Life, New York, NY Sep 2025GF Contemporary, Go Inside, Santa Fe, NM Aug 2024Ivester Contemporary, What did you do Today?
