Thomas Pendeliau is a french artist-researcher. Transdisciplinary, his practice spans film, installation and the still image. His speculative approach probes the agency of contemporary imaginaries in the face of ecological, technological and scientific transformations. A graduate of the École nationale supérieure de la photographie in Arles, and in art history and archaeology from the University of Burgundy, he is currently a PhD candidate at the University of Lille. Informed by science fiction literature, anthropology and posthumanist philosophy, his work draws on the life sciences and the challenges of biotechnology. Artificial intelligence has been central to his practice since 2020, both a medium and an object of critical inquiry. His projects have been shown at the NOÛS festival at the BnF, the Rencontres de la photographie d'Arles, Octobre numérique, the Rencontres de la jeune photographie internationale in Niort and the Lumière d'Encre art centre, among others.
