Orlan

“She's the kind of digital artist that was touching any new medium that was in the market. She tries to experiment with with. I don't know how old she is now - but she has already an enormous career - and I still have the pleasure to exchange a lot of ideas with her. She's still hungry for new technologies."

ABOUT

ORLAN is one of France’s most internationally acclaimed artists. It is not tied to a particular material, technology or artistic practice. She uses sculpture, photography, performance art, video, 3D, video games, augmented reality, the Internet and other media. Artificial intelligence and robotics (she has created a robot in her image that speaks with her voice) as well as scientific and medical techniques such as surgery and biotechnology. ORLAN constantly and radically changes the data, upsetting conventions and ready-made thinking. She opposes natural, social and political determinism, all forms of domination, male supremacy, religion, cultural segregation, racism… Always mixed with humor, sometimes parody or even the grotesque, her provocative work can shock because it upsets pre-established codes. ORLAN was awarded the E-reputation prize for the artist most observed and commented on on the web. His work is highly relevant to today’s artistic and social issues.
