Julie Morel

Based in Paris and London, Julie Morel creates work that employs digital practices, video, photography and drawing. She is especially interested in technology's perceptible characteristics, the coupling of computer memory and human memory, or the gaps and accidents created by code conversion. Her pieces are grounded in interactivity.

In Sweet Dream she offers us a chance to reflect on the ebbs and flows of the network and their influence on individuals. Two computer keyboard buttons attached to the wall, "sleep" and "wake up," turn on and off a bedside lamp in her Parisian apartment via an internet connection. The artist thus compares and contrasts her individual reality with the much wider global reality.
