Marie-Eve Morissette

Marie-Eve Morissette is an artist and designer. Her practice unfolds at the intersection of art, technology, and experience, where areas of interface, transversality, and interstice emerge. Her works question the relationships that humans forge with the digital world, favoring a stance that is both critical and constructive.

Encounters—between people, works, and digital technology—occupy a central place in her work. Conceived as spaces for experimentation, her multi-participatory creations (beings, things, or concepts) take the form of laboratories or events where conditions are created for the emergence of what would not otherwise exist.

These encounters give rise to realistic speculations aimed at stimulating the imagination and inspiring action.

Her approach, which is partly inspired by somatic practices, encourages connections and modes of interaction that engage the living body, opening up to aesthetic and inclusive experiences.

The project is an interactive installation that stems from a reflection on humans becoming raw material in a digital context. It explores the use of materials available in the immediate environment, the notion of the body, and cycles.

The installation consists of works created from the artist’s own fallen hair, tied onto tulle. This hair symbolizes the artist’s personal and emotional commitment, as part of herself is invested in the work.

The project offers a subtle and organic encounter between humans and digital worlds. It questions the relationship between digital temporality, which is instantaneous and reactive, and the slowness of certain physiological processes, addressing issues related to identity, transformation, and the relationship to the body.

The “recompositions” divert the bodily connection of the hair when it is implanted in the tulle grid, creating a poetic metaphor of the human as material transcoded for the digital world.
