Life.
Levasseur began her studies in Visual and Media Art at the University of Quebec (UQAM) in 2004, graduating with a bachelor's degree in 2008. After a year as a foreign language assistant in Plauen, she moved to Leipzig in 2009. In 2011, she continued her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig, earning her diploma with distinction in 2014 and completing a masterclass in 2016.
Artistic work.
Levasseur's work explores intimacy, interactions, non-human ecosystems, and interfaces as extensions of perception, language, or images through screens. Using forms and techniques such as video, installation, sculpture, and 3D animation, she examines the proximity of technological and organic surfaces in a posthuman context. Her methods are inspired by feminist science fiction. Influenced by thinkers like Donna Haraway, her projects use speculative fabulations and imagined devices, creating extensions for human and non-human entities that open interspecies dialogues, reflecting on the systems we inhabit. Her multidisciplinary approach integrates continuous learning of new techniques, incorporating DIY and Open Source as part of her artistic ethos.
