Marie Sester

Marie Sester is a French-American artist working primarily with digital technologies to create works in a variety of media and formats, most often presenting responsive media. Born in France, Marie Sester began her career as an architect after earning a Master’s Degree from the Ecole d’Architecture in Strasbourg, France. Her interests soon shifted from designing physical structures to the study of ideological ones, and of how culture, politics and technology affect our spatial awareness, our emotions and behavior.

After traveling extensively she moved to the U.S. in 2000. Marie Sester received a Creative Capital Grant in 2002. Her installations and websites earned an Honorary Mention in Interactive Art from Ars Electronica (2003), a Webby Award for Net Art (2004) and a spot on the “50 Coolest Websites” list on Time Magazine Online (2004).
