BCA’s description:
“Stéphanie Morissette explores the conflicting relationship between humans, nature, and technology. Using insightful observation and dark humor, the artist imagines a future where biological specimens and mechanical technology have merged to create a new, hybrid species of birds and flying creatures. Morissette’s speculative future is not as fantastic as it may appears. Through a selection of works on paper from her Birds of Prey series and mixed-media bird-drone sculptures, the artist questions the troubling realities and murky ethics underlying scientific research in synthetic biology, genetic engineering, and weapons of war.
“Stéphanie Morissette holds an MFA from the Stamps School of Art & Design, Ann Arbor, Michigan, and a BA in Art History & Studio Art from Concordia University, Montreal. Her works have been exhibited internationally including MUTEK , International Festival of Digital Creativity and Electronic Music , Montreal, Canada (2021); and 22nd Traverse Video Meetings, Toulouse, France (2019), among many others. In 2017, she received the Québec Art Council (CALQ) Prize (Artwork of the Year – Eastern Townships) for her exhibition L’alarme forêt (Troubled Forest). Morissette is represented by JANO Gallery, Montreal.
