Anne Horel
Available in French only
Anne Horel is a digital artist who explores the tensions, collisions and hybridizations between artificial intelligence, art and cultural mutation in the digital age. Through her work, she interrogates emerging new narratives and hijacks technological tools to turn them into artistic and philosophical playgrounds.
Director and co-author of the short film Dips Fake, she presents Charlie as a polymorphous potato, an absurd, poetic entity that traverses the paradoxes of an ultra-mediatized, capitalist society. Her approach, at the crossroads of GIF art, glitch, animation and narration, blurs the boundaries between the real and the simulacrum, code and the organic, human and machine.
Faithful to an experimental approach since 2008 and the arrival of social networks on the contemporary landscape, she has seized on digital culture as a living, constantly mutating medium. In her work, she questions as much as she plays, shifting traditional frameworks to better reveal new contemporary mythologies.
Somewhere between utopia and dystopia, code and poetry, her work is an invitation to rethink our relationship with the digital society and the narratives we construct with it.
