His practice sits at the intersection of philosophy, technology, and experimental music, creating immersive experiences that examine our relationship with increasingly intelligent systems. Academic Background "Ten years ago, I completed a PhD in bioethics. I watched as years of study could be replicated by machines in seconds. That raised a deeper question: what comes after disruption?" With a background spanning theology, bioethics, and philosophy - including doctoral and postdoctoral research into human enhancement and the ethics of artificial intelligence at institutions including Oxford University and the University of Zurich - Lake turned to art to explore questions that traditional academia couldn't fully address. Artistic Practice Lake's work begins where research ends. Through interactive digital experiences, experimental music, and generative art, he creates spaces for reflection on fundamental questions: What makes us singular when algorithms predict our preferences? What does consciousness mean when machines can reason? Where does the human signal emerge from algorithmic noise? THE SIGNAL (2026) His latest release, THE SIGNAL, is the musical companion to The Digital Audit of the Human Condition - a series of interactive web protocols examining digital behaviors (from scrolling to logging off) while revealing their deeper existential meanings. Each participant generates a unique artifact, making the experience simultaneously universal and singular. THE SIGNAL follows his 2024 debut Singular Dust, which explored the tension between natural rhythms and digital frontiers. Note: Avery Lake is the artist name of Dr. Johann Roduit.

"Our digital lives are not separate from our 'real' lives. They are woven together. The Digital Audit takes the ordinary actions we perform online - pausing, scrolling, clicking, liking - and holds them up for examination. Not to condemn them, but to find the beauty and meaning that exists even within the noise." "Each protocol mirrors something we do every day online. But beneath the surface, each one asks a deeper question about existence itself." --- PRESS INQUIRIES For interviews, review copies, or high-resolution images: Email: hello@averylakeofficial.com
