Julie Favreau

Julie Favreau works at the crossroad between choreography and sculpture, mainly via image making. Her films, sculptures and photography look at how spiritual and sexual power have a role to play as vital forces in the imminent encounter with the reality of the augmented human. Her works are open-ended stories designed to induce a heightened state of sensory awareness in the viewer - statements for a return to focus, attention, intuition and tactility. Favreau’s knowledge of body-contact with the inanimate allows her to study how we can approach artificial intelligence in the field of bio-ethics.
