Jane Prophet is an academic and artist whose interdisciplinary work combines contemporary art, technology, and health studies. With a background in fine arts and digital media, Prophet’s research explores how creative practices intersect with societal challenges, including climate change, sustainability, and the promotion of health and well-being.
In her artistic practice, Prophet employs digital tools such as artificial intelligence, projection mapping, and interactive media to explore themes of ecological change and human-environment interactions. She has collaborated with scientists to create art that bridges the divide between art and science, demonstrating the potential of these collaborations to address societal issues. Her work is included in collections such as The Arts Council of England.
Prophet’s research on arts-informed approaches to health and well-being includes studies with pain researchers and social work experts on chronic pain. She developed a novel adaptation of Photovoice methodology to examine the experiences of women of colour, drawing attention to health inequities. Recently, she led a research lab funded by the National Endowment for the Arts in Michigan, which demonstrated that public art can reduce youth firearm injuries.
