CHLOÉ DESAULLES





ARTIST BIO

Chloé Desaulles is a NYC-based, Alsatian-raised computational artist and researcher. Her practice explores the use of emerging technologies as visual and narrative textures in documentary storytelling. Through gathering [custom datasets], tinkering [software] and reassembling [immersively], she creates frameworks where experimental capture, generative archives and analog pattern-making converse. Examining the documentation of memory, natural environments and legacy, Desaulles focuses on deeply personal narratives, tugging at the tensions between tangible and ethereal through multimedia layering in a shared space. With a degree in Cognitive Neuroscience and Electronic Media Arts from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, her work bridges research and narrative, with her time at The New York Times R&D shaping her technological approach and documentary rigor. Her films have screened internationally at The Miller Institute for Contemporary Art, Culture Hub's Re-Fest, The Raw Science Film Festival (Academy Award Eligible), and the New York City Independent Film Festival.
