Bio
Jeanne Bloch is a dance-tech artist, researcher and sustainability consultant pioneer based in France.
Her interactive installations, performances and academic research, presented in art and non-art places, engage with diverse audiences along the creation process. Her art-based research, “How Light Pollution Impacts Human Imagination”, includes collaborations with science labs, engineers and other artists. It engages participants through mindful body machine interactions and organic and tech matters to question the ethics of a decentralized and entangled world.
Jeanne explores how interdisciplinary collectives can best collaborate and produce purpose driven economical value using embodied knowledge and blockchain DAO and tokenization.
Jeanne Bloch is a founding member of Motion DAO.

Her work was awarded International Year of Light, 2015.
