“Lay’s multidimensional work operates in a carefully negotiated space between artistic practices, cultures, and geographic territories.  A critical commentary about machines as both necessary tools and substitute deities, she proposes new, hybrid taxonomies that address the technologically mediated human experience where souls and bots, motherboards and pictures of the cosmos coexist.”
