Sandrine Deumier. Carcassonne, 1978.
Sandrine Deumier holds a Master in Philosophy from the Toulouse II University and a degree in Fine Arts from the National Institute of Fine Arts of Tarbes.
With her dual philosophical and artistic training, she constructed a multifaceted poetry focused on the issue of technological change and the performative place of poetry conceived through new technologies. Using material from the word as image and the image as a word vector, she also works at the junction of video and sound poetry considering them as sensitive devices to express a form of unconscious material itself. The process of writing and the mobile material of the image function as underlying meanings of reflux which refer to the real flickering and to their reality transfers via unconscious thought structures. Her work consists mainly of texts, digital poetry, multimedia installations and audiovisual performances in collaboration with composers.
Her work has been exhibited in contexts such as Cube Fest Cyclorama – Moss Arts Center and The Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology (Blacksburg, USA) 2019, Sur la page, abandonnés – Palais de Tokyo (Paris, France) 2019, MADATAC – Post Digital Star (Madrid, Spain) 2019, OSMOSIS – Audiovisual Media Festival (Taipei, Taïwan) 2019, Traverse Vidéo, l’Expérimental {recherche/art} (Toulouse, France) 2019, Transmediale Vorspiel, Interleaved Space II (Berlin, Germany) 2019, Digerati REDLINE – Reality Bytes (Denver, USA) 2018, Blindsite Satellite, New Intimacies (Melbourne, Australia) 2018, FILE Anima+ (Sao Paulo, Brazil) 2018, Electrofringe – Your privacy is very important to us (Sydney, Australia) 2018, Upfor.digital, Upfor Gallery (Portland, USA) 2018, Cairotronica, Symposium of Electronic and New Media arts (Cairo, Egypt) 2018, VIDEOFORMA 5 – Future Vision, Kuryokhin Art Center (St-Petersburg, Russia) 2017, Patchlab, International Digital Art Festival – Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology (Krakow, Poland) 2016, DAÏMÔN Art Center (Gatineau, Canada) 2016, Les Lectroniques, 18th Printemps des Poètes (Lyon, France) 2016, Electro Alternativ#11, Lieu Commun, Artist Run Space (Toulouse, France) 2015, Agence Topo (Montreal, Canada) 2015, “Locating the Text”, International Digital Litterary Event (BnF, Paris) 2013.
