Lauren Dutch
My name is Lauren, and I am a multi-disciplinary designer based in Bristol, specialising in type and print, art direction and motion graphics. Within my work, I aim to subtly influence my audience, embedding a message or opinion in their head that provokes conversation and communicates the curiosity that has driven my process to its final outcome.

An installation created with Arduino, Processing and an Adafruit Receipt Printer. The code scans Twitter for tweets posted with the hashtag '#tmi' as a social comment on how we as a species overshare, and how this could have negative effects on our privacy.
A Society, Surveilled
A flag designed for the surveillance state in which we currently reside; the eye, made up of 0's and 1's, represents how we are no longer watched by human eyes, but by the eyes of algorithms. This flag was handmade and digitally embroidered.
