Biographie
Graduated in graphic design (1997) and literary creation (UQÀM, 2008), Gisèle Henne is interested in design thinking, co-creation and the psychology of creativity. Professionally accredited by the Société des Designers Graphiques du Québec (2013) for her independent practice, she simultaneously pursues research in visual arts, where illustration, photography and augmented reality intersect. It is her attraction to emerging technologies that leads her to augmented literature (Le vendeur de goyaves by Ugo Monticone; Grand Prix Boomerang 2015). She is also involved in interactive art, co-creating with Bruno Lachapelle, and produces the technological installations in nature Jardin des glaces and Jardin des lumières (2016-2022).
Determined to give back to her community, Gisèle volunteers and works on contract for several cultural and community projects in the Laurentides. As a Digital Development Agent at Culture Laurentides since the launch of the Réseau des agentes et agents de développement numérique (RADN) in 2019, she coordinates the Brigade numérique community, dedicated to improving digital literacy and skills, as well as the WikiClub 3L.
