Jurel Bakker is an artist working at the intersection of ecology, art, and technology. She transforms the natural into a digital framework to explore ecological issues within an artistic field. For her, creating art in a time of planetary crisis begins with careful observation of the world around her, driven by a deep curiosity and love for a more-than-human world.
 
By working with bio-indicators such as lichens and plants, Jurel reveals invisible forms of environmental pollution. Through installations, video art, and data visualization, she uncovers the complex relationships between agricultural and capitalistic practices and their impact on the environment, while reflecting on the role of technology in these processes.
 

Her video installations evoke curiosity and reflection, encouraging viewers to engage with the more-than-human world critically. Her thoughtful and theoretical approach offers a framework for analyzing and visualizing the complex dynamics of pollution's influence on ecological systems.
