    Field of Activity

    In the IDCE, Bérénice Serra teaches various courses for both MA and BA students. Her classes cover theoretical and technical approaches as well as workshop formats encouraging the students to develop their own creative practice.
    Among the topics covered are critical media analysis, strategies for online and offline digital publishing, creative approaches to user-generated content, understanding of social networks, archival practices (co-led with Jinsu Ahn), as well as instruction on web-to-print techniques and command-line tools.
    Bérénice Serra is also actively engaged in research activities, specifically exploring the visual grammar of open-source investigations (OSINT)

    Bérénice Serra is a media artist and researcher based in Zürich, Switzerland. She develops both artistic and theoretical projects that question the modes of conception, production, and exchange of cultural forms in the digital age.

    Her practice involves web-to-print books, web-based projects, techno-critical writing, online interventions, and installations. Her latest writing explores the materiality of the internet, user-generated content ecology, and tactical publishing practices.

    Her work has been featured in numerous international group exhibitions, and she regularly lectures on digital arts and media at cultural and academic institutions.

    From 2019 to 2023, she served as the head of the MA Design Éditions program at the École Supérieure d’arts & médias Caen/Cherbourg in France.
