\n\t\t\t\t\tOrganic\n\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t

Dominique Peysson was born in 1968 and lives in the Paris region. She is a visual artist, after having been a physics researcher. Promoting the fertile encounter between contemporary arts and sciences, she however prefers poetry, humor, magic and strangeness to demonstrations of power. His works, installations, videos and performances, delicately question the hybridizations between living processes and technical processes. They explore the boundaries between the natural and the artificial or the inert and the living. Dominique Peysson works directly with research laboratories, in order to question the future of our future technologies, and the ethical questions they raise. She received the Starts Vertigo prize, and regularly exhibits in France and abroad: Venice, Madrid, Brussels, Leipzig, London, etc. She has benefited from numerous residencies and participates in the ANR \u201cSecond Skin\u201d project with three scientific laboratories.<\/p>\n

She has two theses, in physics (1994) and in contemporary art (2014). She taught for many years, conducted research and taught at EnsadLab, the arts and sciences laboratory of Decorative Arts ENSAD Paris and at Gustave Eiffel University. She now devotes herself exclusively to her plastic productions. Considering that the artist must share, transmit, but also alert us to the future risks of our technoscientific society, she regularly participates in conferences, podcasts and inclusive practical workshops.<\/p>\n

She is the author of numerous publications, including the book The Material Image<\/em>, from Dis Voir Ed., also translated into English and distributed in France, England, Germany and the United States.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"domi3\"\n\t
