French born in Paris in 1981, lives and works in Cachan.

After studying visual communications, Marie-Julie Bourgeois worked at Partizan Production company as an art director and post-production graphic designer. Developing her own artistic research, she produced a series of experimental videos on the subject of the body and its extensions through various collaborations with musicians.

She works with scientists on ecological issues, in the field of art, science and design. Her research focuses on physical and perceptual human activities captured between light and computer vision. These two elements are included in most of her interactive devices, be they are automatic or interactive. The question of the relationship between the audience and the artwork led her to develop devices that bring out this tension. She questions the manipulation of time and our behavior towards technology and scientific improvements.

She creates in situ installations on the stakes of the (tele)present body in space, where the camera invades our lives, she questions the presence of the spectator ex situ through connected works. She develops devices that question our relationship to technology and natural rhythms. Her artistic installations reveal a poetry stemming from our technological environments ; the proliferation of screens are so many luminous icons that invade our daily life, engage new uses and artificially extend the duration of the day. She uses light as a mobile narrative material; as a vital entity and as a circadian continuum. She questions our possible futures through solar, atmospheric and meteorological fictions, a detour of geo-engineering, for a new ecology of our bodies in spaces.
