“An interdisciplinary female human, born by the sea, combining arts, design and science;
through experimentations, correlations, and collisions.”
Vanessa Ferle is an artist, graphic designer and neuroscientist. She has studied biology and
neuroscience at School of Science of the National Kapodistrian University of Athens and at
Medical School of Athens, and digital arts and new media at Athens School of Fine Arts and
University Paris 8 Vincennes-Saint-Denis. She is combining her interdisciplinary interests
in art projects and artistic research. Her research focuses on the affective side of art in
correlation to anthropomorphism. In specific, her focus is on the representation of animals
per se and on the animal essence that automation, machines and smart technologies infuse
into digital art, and the emotional response of humans to this “animal-effect”. She has
present her works of VR, AR, digital images, experimental and animation film in various
festivals.
