Albertine Meunier

Digital Artist

Description

French digital artist exploring artificial intelligence, personal data and network aesthetics through a critical and playful approach, inheriting the spirit of Dada. Her works question our relationship with surveillance technologies and data accumulation by GAFAM, by hijacking these tools with humor and impertinence.
She has been practicing so-called digital art since 1998 and particularly uses the Internet as a material for creation and exploration. These works question, as much critically as playfully, the major players of the internet such as Google, Twitter or Facebook and the new world that surrounds us. She attempts in her research and created pieces to reveal the invisible or the poetry of digital things.
She cultivates simple, minimal forms, sometimes appearing "cobbled together", but she remains voluntarily far from the hyper-technicality of certain digital devices.
With her seemingly hands-off approach, Albertine leads us on a playfully, impertinently and drolly poetic journey.
