Joelle Bitton / Portfolio / Resume

My work spans the art, design and research worlds.
Since 1998, I've been practising interactive media at different levels: as an artist, as a concept and interaction designer, as a researcher, as a consultant, as a curator, as a teacher and as a project manager. I undertook those tasks in France and in a variety of places around the world, including Vienna, Dublin, Cambridge, Scotland, Tokyo, Italy, Berlin, Mali...

My approach is strongly interdisciplinary and collaborative, based equally on theory and practice. Coming from different backgrounds - history, geopolitics, art, design - I keep on using this corpus of knowledge to inspire my creative process, and I always look forward to work with people coming also from various disciplines, like music, performance, social sciences and so on.

I'm mostly motivated by collaboration and sharing to create narrative and emotional interactive experiences.
My aim is to build pieces that would get people to question what's taken for granted.

I currently live in Paris where I was born in 1974 but I often enjoy travelling for work and for pleasure.
