ELSA WAGNIÈRES
Elsa Wagnières (*1997) is a visual artist who graduated in 2024 from the Work. Master in Contemporary Artistic Practices at HEAD (Haute École d’Art et de Design) in Geneva. Her work explores the intersections between art, science, and technology, in order to imagine autonomous ecosystems that she unfolds across various media (sculpture, installation, publishing, etc.) Examining the ethical stakes of ecology and the frictions between organic and digital systems, the artist questions the place of humanity in the writing of our own future when faced with contemporary technologies, particularly artificial intelligence. Elsa Wagnières’ sci-fi universe calls for a confrontation with the complexity of living systems and a rethinking of the power dynamics at play between the natural and the artificial.
