Jessica Feldman
March 26th, 2026

oneATELIER is delighted to announce that our next Deep Studio Visit will take place at the studio of American sound and new media artist and researcher Jessica Feldman, located at CESURE in the 5th arrondissement of Paris.

Jessica Feldman's artistic and academic work is concerned with the political ramifications and potentials of emerging digital technologies; specifically their capacity to facilitate or repress solidarity, and to recondition creativity and labor practices. Her work is often sited in or engaged with public or non-commercial spaces, and includes sculptures, interventions, sound installations, weird self-destructing circuits, videos, and compositions. Many of her pieces are site-specific, participatory, and/or interactive, and deal with the relationships among the body, (the) media, and intimate psychological and communal social dynamics revealed by contemporary technics of control, or, alternately, liberation. Recent projects deconstruct, mis-use, or hack mainstream technologies (AI, emotion recognition software) to reveal the limits of these tools and reify what is essentially human and beyond digital capture or quantification. Other work specifically focuses on sound and listening practices as sites of solidarity and collaboration (audio recordings of water from different sites of migration, for example). Her work uses the artistic object as a catalyst for social relations.

During this visit, we will focus on Snow in Mória, a work that Jessica will further develop during a residency at Overtoon in Brussels this summer, with particular attention to how the sound is experienced by a wider audience.

We will also reflect on questions around combining different field sites into a single mix, as well as a possible video work in progress.

Jessica Feldman is a sound and new media artist and a researcher with an MFA in Intermedia Arts and PhD in the field of Media Studies.

She is an Assistant Professor/Enseignante-Chercheuse at The American University of Paris.
