Anderson’s research and creative practice explore the relationship between human history, emerging technologies, and speculative futures. Drawing on moments of major cultural and epistemological change, from early symbolic systems to contemporary networked and AI-driven culture, she uses sculpture, installation, digital media, and fiction to examine how meaning, memory, and social organization are constructed. The resulting output operates through speculative frameworks that treat the present as a site of transition, where past and future imaginaries overlap. Periods of uncertainty and transformation are approached as generative conditions for new ways of thinking, making, and world-building.
