"Tisser L'Hybride," curated by Amandine Nana, is up until June 30, 2024! Part of this year's Prix des Amis du Palais de Tokyo.
Featuring both an interactive tapestry installation "The Transplants" and prior embroidery work "Dirt, Skin and Gold" (2019) and "Body Memory"(2021.)
Also excited to tell you more soon about a new performance, also performed at @palaisdetokyo
Special thanks to @lesamisdupalaisdetokyo for the incredible opportunity! Featuring sounds by @compagnielatempete and engineering by #jonathantanant and weaving by @atelierjustlissieres
With paper from @atelierpapetier
It takes a freaking village

We’re thrilled to announce our 2026 Art + Tech Grant recipients
With renewed support from @hyundai.artlab, the Lab will support a new cohort of artists every two years, encouraging sustained artistic development and more opportunities for public engagement.
Our first recipient → @refikanadol and @christinamoushoul, Latent Terrain. In a cross-institutional collaboration with @datalandmuseum, Refik Anadol and Christina Moushoul will transform the museum’s campus into an interactive soundscape.
@chloebensahel’s Neural Networks (Instruments of Darkness) will investigate historical and material connections between textile craft and artificial intelligence, exploring how traditional forms of knowledge and making might inform contemporary approaches to machine learning
@tanyaaguiniga’s The River Loom will create a network of handwoven sculptural beacons along the Los Angeles River that collect and communicate data about the river’s movement and environmental conditions

Paul Pfeiffer’s (@pmp2021) Vitruvian Figure (Olympia) will use Los Angeles’s preparations for the 2028 Olympic Games as a framework for exploring the technologies and media systems that shape mass spectatorship.

This year, I've been working on new soft robotic textiles supported by @cnrs #pepro2r art and science residency. "Tropism" looks at the ways plants move towards or away from stimuli in sometimes barely visible ways. Drawing on Darwin's early research on movement in plants (1880) catalogued as exceptional drawings, @anaisjarnoux and I devised cable pathways through bi-layer textiles so that the surface could move towards or away from stimuli.
A few moments from this research in collaboration with Gilles Bailly, Baptiste Caramiaux and Nathanaël Jarassé at #isir @lasorbonneparis Lab for robotics.

A few months ago, I came to @delfinafdn in London wanting to research plants, especially invasive species, and ended up following a much more unexpected path.
Alongside the incredible team at Delfina, I met wonderful curators and researchers from Kew Gardens, Tate Modern, the V&A, Barbican, Hayward Gallery (and many more!) and those conversations gradually shifted the research towards plants, magic, and technology.
I discovered invasive plants that often have local mirrors in the landscape, allowing them to blend in. I became especially interested in the way plants and roots have carried meanings beyond the botanical — as forms of protection, belief and power — including 19th-century charms against the evil eye shaped like roots.
These images are a few traces of what emerged during the residency.

Celebrating five years of our residency program! Today, we spotlight Franco-American artist Chloe Bensahel (@chloebensahel) whose practice blends performance, traditional textile techniques, and emerging technologies to explore the relationship between beliefs and materials, text and textile.
Inspired by her intergenerational family history of migration across Algeria, Morocco, France, and the United States, Bensahel considers how materials can carry stories much like bodies do, sometimes covertly, through embodied or coded language. Through weaving, spinning, tearing, and transforming materials, she creates works that preserve traces of their previous lives.
Her recent work includes collaborations with @mobiliernational and @googleartsculture exploring conductive thread technologies that allow textiles to respond to touch, drawing on the performative relationship to text found in mystical traditions. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Australian Tapestry Workshop, the MontBlanc Cultural Foundation, and the @palaisdetokyo.
In 2024, Bensahel completed a residency at the MIT Media Labs, as part of her Villa Albertine residency, supported by @mit Center for Art, Science, and Technology. She is currently a research affiliate in Zach Lieberman’s Future Sketches Group.
Stay tuned for future highlights!

#tbt "Obsession" premiere at @theatresdecompiegne on October 3. Three works that interpret the glitches that come with repetition. Light that changes with each composer, Philip Glass, Arvo Pärt and Jehan Alain. A project by @compagnielatempete with @claradaguin (costumes) and @jonlab78 on programming.
Textile development at @textielmuseum and @societecholetaise_scf
Special thanks to amazing assistants Chiara, Léa, Jeanne, Mylène, Léo, Jules and Mathis
And @la_tour_orion for the incredible space

On September 25, "Obsession" opened at @philharmoniedeparis a show by @compagnielatempete featuring Arvo Pärt, Philip Glass and Jehan Alain. As part of this incredible performance, I was invited to design and make the set, which involved multiple kilometers of custom passementerie made by @textielmuseum and @societecholetaise_scf alongside the incredible @claradaguin (costumes) and @jonlab78 (creative coding.) Twirling works courtesy of @bastienmairet
Special thanks to the incredible team @jeanne.bns @chiaradederer #myleneparisot @lea.tissera21 @_thistisse_ @seignez_leo @julesbeurrierloncan without whom 200 m2 of hand-assembled textile would not exist!

Special thanks to @fondationbettencourtschueller
For supporting this program!

🏆 CHLOÉ BENSAHEL - LAURÉATE PRIX ENGAGEMENT MÉTIERS D’ART 🏆
@chloebensahel mĂŞle performances, textile traditionnel et technologies innovantes pour raconter des histoires oĂą le textile devient langage.
Diplômée de Parsons à New York, c’est une rencontre en 2014 avec Sheila Hicks qui la pousse à découvrir le tissage au Japon. « Pour moi, le textile était lié à la mode, à l’industrie. Au Japon, j’ai découvert des gestes, des traditions. J’ai adoré ! »
Elle participe à plusieurs résidences, dont une au Mobilier national en 2018. « Ces trois années à travailler sur le textile et l’innovation ont été formidables. »
Après Google, le MIT lui ouvre ses portes. Elle y est aujourd’hui engagée dans des programmes de recherche, ainsi qu’à l’Université du Luxembourg. « La nouvelle étape est de travailler sur des textiles qui bougent et se rétractent. Ce prix va financer ces projets. Avec des commandes importantes, comme une tenture de 200 m2 pour un spectacle à la Philharmonie, je vais aussi pouvoir m’entourer d’aide. »
FĂ©licitations Ă @chloebensahel pour ce prix !
Merci infiniment à @gregoirescalabre président du jury métiers d’art.
Un grand merci également au Fonds pour les Ateliers de Paris @lynecohensolal, ainsi qu’à nos mécènes : @federationdupap @audeladucuir @galerieslafayette @esmodparis @rogerpradier @victoire_paris et Francéclat.
