Biography
Born in 1982, Julien Levesque is a French artist who explores the poetry of digital data and its sensitive diversions. At the heart of his practice: the Internet as material, information flows as language, and an ongoing research into the poetic writings of the web.
A net artist, he develops a body of work that questions our relationship with digital technology and the connected consumer society. Far from a cold aesthetic, he combines everyday materials, lowtech techniques and digital tools to reveal the absurdities and hidden beauty of our digital environments.
Through his offbeat appropriation of technologies, he unveils the mechanisms of our systems of representation and offers an alternative reading of the digital era both playful and poetic.
His work has been exhibited at Centre Pompidou, Jeu de Paume, CNAM, Salon de Montrouge, IMAL, Futur en Seine, Forum d'Avignon, Show Off...
He graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris and the University of Paris 8, and was a research student at Ensad Lab at the École des Arts Décoratifs.
Lives and works in Paris and on the Internet.
