marylou is a sound, electronic and hacker artist based in Paris and the Netherlands. Her work explores the fields of music, sculpture, installation and performance. Passionate about ecology and electronics, she thrives today in the creation of synthesizers, installations, compositions and atypical performances giving a new poetic dimension to the study of the biosphere and climate change.

marylou's research explores the disappearance of the sensitive world of ecosystems, and detects an enchanting power in the electronic medium: it stimulates each of our senses in an exacerbated way and guides us through finer perceptions and interactions. As she likes to understand and represent the complex networks of nature, her work aims to highlight the similarities between its broken ecosystems and electronic interfaces. In particular, she modulates bird songs that she has been archiving since 2018, using machines that she designs, codes and welds like artificial reconstructions of these endangered singers. In 2020, she created, among other things, the Bird translator: a synthesizer to transform the human voice into the song of a nightingale.

The artist exhibits her work as a mix between a deeply sensitive experience and an educational tool, in the form of atmospheres in which the public can intervene. In 2020 during a residency at the V2_Lab studio in Rotterdam, marylou designed Electronic Garden, an installation composed of a series of synthesizers reproducing the acoustic repertoires of the declining birds of the Camargue. Through the work, the public is encouraged to manipulate the instruments of the installation, disturb their ecosystem, and thus become the conductor of this restored landscape. This project was presented at Espace 38CC in Delft in 2021 as part of the Alienated exhibition, a collaboration of several artists whose practice illustrates the work of the philosopher Donna Haraway. In 2022, marylou exhibits her residency project called Electronic Critters at the Center Tignous d'Art Contemporain in Montreuil. This work is an intermingling of interactive circuits where each bug is an electrical reconstruction of an insect or a weakened bird on the region. Through this immersive project, the artist has detached herself from the digital world to explore the riches of analog electronics and its infinite assembly of components, without any computer or code help. This residency project offered various educational workshops for introduction to electronics, as well as collaborative performances with the inhabitants of Montreuil.
