Marion Schneider

A non-binary digital artist, Marion Schneider (elle/iel) has a degree in Visual and Media Arts from UQAM (Montreal) and in Digital Design from the École nationale supérieure Olivier de Serres (Paris). Obsessed with the sea, words and machines, her artistic research focuses on the poetic and engaging potential of digital tools. His interdisciplinary practice focuses on sentimentality and how it is updated through technology.

Rooted in hacktivist ideology, his work is often autonomous, permeable and looped, incorporating the sharing and reuse of data. He is interested in themes relating to nature and virtuality, as well as gender, intimacy, distance and memory; his work explores the ways in which each of these subjects intersect.

Schneider has shown his work in a number of exhibitions in Montreal and Quebec City, including at ICRA-X, Place des Arts, Art Mûr, and the Galerie de l'UQAM. He received an honourable mention from UQAM for his bachelor's degree, the McAbbie Foundation bursary for excellence, and the Jean-Pitre and Claude Leclerc prize.
