Marina Gadonneix was born in 1977 in Paris, where she lives and works.
A graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie d'Arles, Marina Gadonneix has won numerous awards (HSBC Prize, Dummy Book Award from the Luma Foundation and Rencontres d'Arles, Nièpce Prize, Lewis Baltz Prize). Her work was presented alongside Lynne Cohen's in 2023 at the Centre Pompidou and has been exhibited in numerous institutions in Europe and the United States, including the Fotohof in Salzburg, the Centre Photographique d'Île-de-France, the Kunsthalle in Tübingen, the Rencontres Photographiques d'Arles, and MOMENTA | Biennale de l'image at the Musée de Joliette in Canada. Her press coverage includes Le Monde, Libération, Télérama, Artpress, Le Journal des arts, Etudes photographiques, Canadian Art, and more.
A former student of the École Polytechnique (X2017), Victor Rambaud began his career with a major American player in artificial intelligence. After several years in this industry, he turned to cognitive science research to begin a thesis at the ENS on the development of computational models of the mind. It was through a collaboration with artist Lucien Murat that he became interested in the dialogue between art and artificial intelligence, prompting him to reflect on the duality of generated images – on the one hand, their sensitive texture and, on the other, the algorithmic structure on which they are based.
Céline Boisserie-Lacroix is a researcher in philosophy and a doctor at the Institut Jean Nicod (EHESS-ENS-CNRS). She is particularly interested in the intersection of the philosophy of emotions, aesthetics and cognitive science. Her thesis focused on the epistemological role of emotions in the justification of evaluative beliefs, as well as on metaethical questions concerning the nature of emotional normativity.
Born in 1971, David Bessis is a former student of the École Normale Supérieure in Paris and Paris VII University, and holds a PhD in mathematics. He was an assistant professor at Yale University from 1999 to 2001, before joining the CNRS, where he conducted research in algebra, geometry and topology. He has published numerous scientific articles and taught courses in Russia, China and Japan. In 2010, he founded an artificial intelligence start-up, which he will continue to run until 2023. David Bessis is also the author of two books published by Allia (Sprats and Ars grammatica), as well as Mathematica, published in 2022 by Éditions du Seuil.
