Lola Gonzalez Studio
Initially coming from the dance field, Lola would describe herself as an interdisciplinary artist/designer. By combining, psychosomatics, technology and body movements she sees her work as tools to access our deepest and authentic selves.
Through sensory, experiential and interactive work, she is particularly interested in exploring collective energy within the landscape of contemporary society, body memory, its body expression through movements as means of internal healing and understanding our own personal stories and heritage.
She completed her BA in the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2023, for which she received a Cum Laude. She has also obtained a diploma as a specialist in psychosomatic therapy and is currently exploring technology as a tool for interpreting movements from the body as symbolic embodiment.
She believes that the body holds our unconscious memories and that our movements can serve as a tool for accessing them. By becoming aware of these memories and listening to our movements, we could potentially break free from their negative influences and gain insight into our own behaviours, potentially helping prevent or fight disease.

The Interactive Digital Oracle is rooted in research on ancient knowledge of the body and holistic practices to provide a better understanding of our bodily ailments in today's modern, technological yet disconnected society.
As a specialist in psychosomatic therapy, Lola draws on her healing background and personal experiences to uncover the connections between physical and emotional states. Through a solo interactive experience, individuals engage with the Oracle to uncover the mysteries of their body symptoms. Drawing on a repository of psychosomatic knowledge and data, it analyzes body motion during the given meditation, offering personalized messages. Acting as both a physical keepsake and a source of ongoing guidance, it supports individuals on their journey of bodily awareness and understanding, encouraging them to listen to the hidden messages from their bodies.
