Cindy Coutant is a visual artist and researcher based in Geneva. Her films, installations and augmented readings focus on the slimy entanglements of life and technology, the triumph of slobber over language, and the dumb whims of the Western world to master an elusive nature.

Her practice-led research, developed in her thesis entitled Dismembering the grand narrative of technology: high-tech sexo-semiotics and grammar of the future, sets up a genealogy of the minor critique of technology to actualize our relationship to future. It addresses the anxiety of bodies and the indeterminacy of affects as crucial issues for capitalist industry, but also as the foundation of another technological narrative.
