Victoria Browne confronts socio-political progress, through the process of traditional and innovative forms of print. Her residency project Speculative Progress is a critical analysis on the practice of science, specifically the Centre European Regional de Nucleaire’s search for the elusive Higg’s boson. Primary data collated from the landscape and the physicists at CERN, in the form of photographs, drawings and interviews, engages Browne directly with her sources.
Through a process of re-presentation the work seeks to address Walter Benjamin’s Jetztzeit, time filled by the ‘presence of the now’, an alternative vision to History’s linear narrative.
In September 2008 she was awarded an artist residency at Middlesex University, which supports her practice based research into visual data mapping and multidimensional manifolds.
Victoria currently lives and works in East London.
