Sarah Derat

Sarah Derat (b. 1984) is a french artist living in London. Sarah Derat’s practice is centered at the precise intersection of sculpture/installation and tech, both physical and digital. Under a transdisciplinary umbrella encompassing disciplines such as archeology, paleoanthropology, and neurosciences, Derat produces a corpus of works – from silicone rubber pieces to videos & AI-generated sound pieces – to explore the complex and endlessly shape-shifting nature of our relationship to technology and the possible resonances of machine-learned & automated systems on language, cognition, and society at large. Since 2017, Derat developed a distinctive use of silicone rubber, at the crossroads of printmaking & mould-making; leading to a production of works ranging from small pieces to large-scale modular installations presenting themselves as non-linear research maps, offering no simple narrative but a multitude of non-hierarchical entry points. ...
