Jasmine Pradissitto

Dr Jasmine Pradissitto FRSA FLIS is an award-winning London-based British artist, scientist, academic, and speaker who has a Ph.D. in physics from UCL and has studied art at Goldsmith's. A 'Renaissance Woman' her critical practice spans painting, sculpture, and technology and for the last 8 years, she has been pioneering NOXORB^TM, a newly developed ceramic material that absorbs nitrogen dioxide (NOx) pollution from the air. Pradissitto has exhibited worldwide and has installed two pioneering public art projects in London for The Horniman Museum Gardens (winner of Museum of the Year Award 2022) and Camden People's Theatre with Euston Town, a Mayor of London environmental initiative (PEA AWARD 2021). Her work based on future innovations (and new modes of thinking), cross-fertilised with the traditional, is less about the narrative of our past planetary ingressions and more about our symbiotic adaptation to a post-industrial,­­­ anthropogenic world; something she is now exploring as part of her first museum solo show in 2025 with The London Water and Steam Museum 'Tender Machines: Holding Paradox'

'Tender Machines: Holding Paradox', curated by Richard Hore, is a body of work by Jasmine Pradissitto, inviting you to explore an ongoing 300-year dialogue, between the industrial and the sublime. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of The London Museum of Water & Steam, this exhibition reimagines the relationship between nature, human and machine, by weaving natural, found and manufactured materials with monumental Victorian structures.

Such entanglement itself is a form or renewal

'We, inheritors of fractured Earthscapes, rise from the Anthropovoid-a void born of disconnection, apathy, and a mechanistic gaze. Here, in the shadow of Ecoclasm, the sharp shards of shattered ecosystems pierce our consciousness. Carbon Phantasm, spectral and relentless, lingers in our skies and veins, whispering warnings we can no longer ignore.'
