Albertine Meunier is a french digital artist. She has been practicing so-called digital art since 1998, and is particularly inclined to use the Internet as raw material. She explores the essential poetry and esthetics of the networks. She cultivates simple, minimal forms, which may sometimes appear to be tinkered from scratch, but she intentionally distances herself from the hyper-technicity of digital installations. Her works question, both critically and playfully, big online players such as Google. In her research and in her artworks, she attempts to reveal the invisible poetry of all things digital. Albertine leads us on a playfully, impertinently and drolly poetic journey. She is DataDada, it’s obvious!
