LoVid's interdisciplinary practice explores the often invisible or intangible dimensions of contemporary society, notably communication systems and biological signals. Their work questions the ways in which technology permeates human culture and shapes its evolution.

Through performance, participatory public art, craft technologies, textiles, printmaking, App Art, experimental video and immersive installations, LoVid combines diverse media with physical objects, geographical spaces and the dimension of the human gesture. At the heart of their approach lies a dialogue between hand-crafted engineering and traditional forms of art and craft, informed by a DIY (“Do It Yourself”) philosophy and aesthetic. This approach allows the duo to reflect on the role of manual production and the artistic gesture in an era increasingly shaped by machines and virtual experiences.

Alongside these craft processes, LoVid incorporates digital fabrication techniques and mechanised production methods, underlining the critical importance of interactions between human and machine in the digital age. Drawing on methodologies from art, science and technology, their multidisciplinary practice questions perceptions of time, place and identity in an ever more interconnected world.
