Louise Vo Tan is a French artist whose hybrid practice unfolds across experimental video, sound, and installation. Oscillating between immersive environments and audiovisual composition, her work investigates the sensory and political dimensions of contemporary systems of production, circulation, and control. Drawing from industrial landscapes, cybernetic logics, and symbolic structures, Vo Tan constructs immersive narratives in which technology appears simultaneously as an apparatus of fascination, domination, and collapse. Her work navigates the tensions between violence and harmony, archaism and technological acceleration, revealing the fragile equilibrium through which interconnected social, psychic, and material systems regulate and destabilize one another.

Her work is characterized by large-scale audiovisual installations in which sound, image, and spatial composition interact in real time. Through fragmented visual sequences, machine-generated rhythms, and immersive dispositifs, Vo Tan develops environments where industrial aesthetics become charged with emotional and political intensity. Influenced by her investigations into end-of-life vehicle scrapyards and global recycling networks, her projects expose the hidden infrastructures of extractive economies and their human consequences. 

Louise Vo Tan (born in 1996, lives and works in Paris, FR) graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris, where she obtained her DNSAP in 2024, following an exchange program at the Glasgow School of Art in 2021. She also holds a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy from Sorbonne University. Her recent solo exhibitions include Soft Power at Bremond Capela and Keep It Close at La Sirène. Her work has also been presented in group exhibitions at the Bourse de Commerce — Pinault Collection and Palais de Tokyo.
