Jacqueline BeaumontCA/QC
Jacqueline Beaumont is a biodesigner, media artist, and researcher based in Tiohtià:ke / Montreal. Working across polymer engineering, semi-living sculpture, and biogenerative audiovisual media, her practice examines the complex relationships among biochemistry, technology, the “body”, sexuality, and gender.
Through a neo-materialist lens, she disrupts the art–science divide by tracing biopower across scales, from molecular to oceanic, recomposing our perceptions of material-culture, with particular attention to how power moves through the substances and infrastructures we co-constitute.
She is currently completing an Individualized Master’s degree at Concordia University, supported by a SSHRC Graduate Scholarship. She is affiliated with the Milieux Institute, the Concordia University Research Chair in Critical Practices in Materials and Materiality, McGill’s Biointerface Lab, and Hexagram UQAM. Her work has been presented at the Canadian Cultural Centre in Paris, the Centre Pompidou, MUTEK, MIT, Pangée, Montreal Design Week, and other international institutions.
