Gina Gibson is a visual artist and Professor of Digital Communication at Black Hills State University (BHSU) in Spearfish, South Dakota. In 2020 she became the first artist in residence for the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota. SURF, the deepest underground laboratory in the United States, extends nearly a mile below the surface and hosts cutting-edge experiments in dark matter and neutrino physics, as well as biology, geology, and engineering. The site is also the former location of the historic Homestake Gold Mine. The success of the inaugural artist in residence program led to a new partnership between BHSU and SURF and the appointment of Gibson as the coordinator of the SURF Artist-in-Residence program (SURF AiR). Gibson's work is interdisciplinary, often exploring themes of science, history, and place. Her recent exhibition venues include the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History. Currently, her work is on display at the Science Pavilion at the University of Zürich in Zürich, Switzerland.​ In 2025, Gibson was Artist-in-Residence and Visiting Professor at the University of Zürich Physics Institute and a Senior Fellow at the Collegium Helveticum, Swiss Institute for Advanced Study in Zürich, Switzerland.
