Mia Forrest

Mia is a multidisciplinary Australian artist. Her practice is an overall testament of her reverence of nature as muse, in which her work is exclusively bound to the natural world. Mia engages with digital tools, video, generative processes (computer and analog), and biodata to create artworks (digital, dry media, textiles). Her process often evolves (bio)data into data sonification, visualization and/or materialization to evoke novel ways of connecting with the natural world. The convergence of technology x nature - perceived binaries - reconsiders how one can influence the other in how we see, process, and feel the natural world, particularly as we enter the digital-age.

Mia holds a Bachelor of Music (performance) from the Queensland Conservatorium, and Masters in Film from Griffith Film School.

In her emerging years as an artist, Mia’s work has been recognized by the Wollumbin Art Award at the Tweed Regional Gallery (Emerging Artist Award Recipient, 2022), Arab Bank Switzerland Digital Art Prize (finalist, 2024), Yarilla Arts and Museum STILL: National still Life Award (finalist, 2023) and the York Botanic Art Prize (finalist, 2023), and exhibited through Sotheby's Metaverse, Unit London (London), Vellum LA (USA), Tweed Regional Gallery (Australia), and participated at international art fairs including West Bund Art Fair (China) courtesy of Sugar Glider Digital, and Art Basel (USA) courtesy of National Geographic and TIME magazine.
