Emma Wade is a Wexford born visual artist and educator based in Dublin, Ireland. She works with installation, digital media and performance. Her work is playful, interactive and audience focused. In 2008 Emma received an MA from NCAD, Dublin and subsequently completed an internship in New Media Education at the Guggenheim Museum New York. Her work uses play and humor as tools to provoke thought, and to entertain.
Science and Pseudo-science heavily influence her practice. The conflict between scientific fact and common belief fascinates her. Defining proof, the notion of what is real and who decides. Her current research investigates the physiological effects of deep pressure and cellular memory in a fine art context.
