Presentation

Mélanie Fontaine
Driven by my curiosity and quest for discovery, Mélanie focuses her work and research on current issues. She deals with the influence of technology on society with a critical eye, and assesses the resulting biases. Multidisciplinary, Mélanie researches and experiments with the mediums that best suit her reflections, creating tangible projects, interfaces, videos and other visual experiences.
