Laura Milkins is a multimedia, interactive performance artist, living in Tucson and teaching at Pima CC.  In 2008, she received an MFA at University of Arizona.  Since 1993, Laura has been organizing art shows, performances and festivals, and has received grants, awards and international recognition for her work. Her performances focus on community and social interactions, and the role that technology plays in both. 

For her most recent performance, “Walking Home: stories from the desert to the Great Lakes”, Laura walked 2,007 miles from Tucson to Michigan wearing a live webcam:

"I am a small town girl. I believe in community, family and the connections that draw us together. This project is about trust, community and social networks. I am interested in the ways that technology connects and disconnects us from the people in our lives. I am interested in how a lone woman can cross the country but never truly be alone. Technology will allow me to bring friends and family on this journey home."

We are very excited to have Laura present her work this Sunday at our visiting artists' talk, at 7pm.  She will speak on her projects and share images and video, all are welcome to join in her dialog.
