British, b. 1985

Smith is a British Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Cleveland Museum of Art. Smith was born in Paris.

Smith (stylized as SMITH; born 1985) is a French transdisciplinary artist-researcher. Smith experiments with and explores the links between contemporary humanity and its boundary figures – ghosts, mutants, hybrids – engaging his own body and that of his collaborators – writers, astronauts, shamans, engineers, designers, performers or composers – in indisciplinary projects. Disturbing genres, languages and disciplines, Smith proposes curious works, in the etymological sense of cura: curiosity and care for the world around us, the terrestrial and the celestial, the human and the non-human, the visible and the invisible, imagination and fiction.

Thermal cameras, drones, neon lights, implantations of electronic chips and subcutaneous meteorites, atomic mutations or trance practices characterise his fluid work composed with technological and spiritual means that incorporate the dimensions of mystery and dream.
