Education
Lea Collet holds a BA degree from Camberwell College of Arts, London, and an MA degree from Slade School of Fine Art, London. In 2020 she joined the Art and Technology university research group EUR ArTec based in Paris. In 2019, she was awarded the “Peer Forum 2020,” an annual program to support artists by providing them with the funding, space, and resources to create their own mentoring groups organised by Artquest in collaboration with the Camden Arts Centre. In September 2021, she joined Le Fresnoy, Studio national des arts contemporains a two-year program for artistic, audiovisual, and digital training, production, and distribution.
Practice
Her practice oscillates between performance, installations, video, and research. She works in institutional, self-organized, and educational contexts. She introduces landscapes and subjects investigating social relations and augmented affect experienced in and through digital mediation and technological collaboration. Her artistic experimentation (both through making and sharing) emphasises collective experimentation and emotional symbiosis.
