The symposium “Technological Ecologies in Research-Creation,” organized by the group of artist-researchers at the PRISM research unit (UMR 7061), explores two themes: the appropriation of new technologies through artistic practice and the epistemology of research-creation. These research themes will be addressed from an interdisciplinary perspective (visual arts, film, literature, and computer music).
Open to the public and aimed at students, this event will explore the themes of artificial intelligence, audiovisual storytelling, and ecology.
The program will include lectures and hands-on workshops led by members of the group as well as guest researchers and artists.

Chiara Palermo
PhD in Philosophy, specializing in aesthetics and the philosophy of art. Since 2016, she has been teaching at the University of Paris 1. Her areas of teaching and research include the theory and history of 20th-century art and design, the philosophy of the senses, and the history of modern and contemporary French philosophy (notably Descartes, Diderot, Bergson, Deleuze, and Simondon).
Colette Tron
Colette Tron is a writer, critic, and author focused on the intersections of language, media, the arts, and technology. She is the founder and artistic director of Alphabetville, a multimedia writing laboratory in Marseille established in 2000. Her work combines writing, criticism, publishing, performance, and sound and digital creations, with a focus on exploring language, technology, media, and culture.
Novaya Production Company
An audiovisual and immersive production company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Paris (229 rue Saint-Honoré, 75001). It specializes in creating immersive artistic experiences — augmented reality, virtual reality, and visual and audio installations — by bringing together artists, engineers, and film producers.
Lynn Pook
Lynn Pook, a Franco-German artist, studied visual arts in Strasbourg, Paris, Berlin, and Karlsruhe. Since 2003, she has been conducting research on touch through sound, exploring the vibrational and tactile dimensions of sound. She bridges the gap between the viewer and the object, transforming the individual into both the site and the material of a temporal sculpture.
Rosine Bénard O'Kelly
A lecturer in film and audiovisual studies, Rosine Bénard O'Kelly is the associate director of the La SATIS film school, where she primarily teaches film editing and post-production: aesthetics, technologies, and practice. Her research, which sometimes takes the form of research-creation, revolves around two main themes: the narrative, aesthetic, and ideological functions of nature in the visual arts AND the evolving ways in which artistic works and installations engage the viewer.
Caroline Boë
A sound artist, composer, and arts researcher affiliated with the PRISM laboratory, Caroline Boë explores how listening—as both a sensory and political act—can reconnect us to the world around us, while revealing the fractures we inflict upon it. Since 2018, her research-creation project Anthropophony has examined low-intensity noise pollution and its perceptual, social, and environmental impacts. Winner of the 2024 L’Harmattan Scientific Prize and the 2016 SACEM Prize for the Promotion of Symphonic Music, she is a member of the editorial board of the journal Filigrane, Music, Sounds, Aesthetics, Society.
Isabel Castro
A lecturer in film and audiovisual studies (CNU Section 18) at Satis, Isabel Castro teaches primarily in the “Editing” track and coordinates the “Real-Time VFX and Digital Creation” track. With training in both theory and practice, she has been a chief film editor since 2007. Since completing her master’s degree, her research has focused on documentary writing styles, found footage cinema, the use of archival materials in film, editing theories, and the relationships between cinema, memory, and history.
Natacha Cyrulnik
She began her career as a documentary filmmaker but eventually reevaluated her practice to become a professor and researcher. She is now a university professor at Aix-Marseille University, head of the "production and directing professions" program at the public film school La Satis, and a member of UMR 7061 Prism "Perception, Representations, Image, Sound, Music." Her work focuses on the representation of territories through documentary film, film pedagogy, and (audio-)visual methods. She is currently on a CNRS research fellowship to explore atmosphere in the context of the image-sound relationship.
Jean-Pierre Moreau
Composer, Ph.D. in musicology, member of the Music and Computer Science Laboratory in Marseille (MIM), which he has chaired since 2011, and associate researcher at the PRISM and ADEF university laboratories, his work focuses on temporal semiosis in multisensory works, the relationship between media as perceived metaphorically by the audio-spectator, and the rhetoric that may result from this perception.
Isotta Trastevere
Composer, sound artist, and Ph.D. in "Practice and Theory of Artistic and Literary Creation." Currently a temporary teaching and research associate at Aix-Marseille University, a member of the PRISM laboratory (UMR7061), and an external collaborator with the ACCRA research group (Strasbourg).
Her research focuses on the temporality of sound creation processes using a research-creation methodology. She is an expert in compositional techniques that incorporate listening into the creative process, as well as in models of musical analysis through listening (theory of listening practices and embodied temporality).
