Marie-Sarah Adenis

After doing research in Biology and then Cognitive Neurosciences at the ENS Marie-Sarah turned her career path towards design at the ENSCI where she is currently finishing her last year.
Marie Sarah works on her own genetic data as if she were dealing with raw material merging investigations and experimentation with fiction. Her practice as a designer is positioned on the territory of research both through her approach and through the forms that her projects take. Beyond bringing answers, she uses design to (re)formulate questions namely in science where she finds it fundamental to create fiction, friction and discussion.
She also gravitates around the ecosystem of La Paillasse, where she plays a pivotal role in implementing artistic and scientific collaborations. Within this framework, she participates in the emergence and shaping of such projects.
She is regularly invited to give fabrication and reflexion workshops (V&A in London, Gaîté Lyrique in Paris, Science Gallery in Dublin et Design Maters in Tel Aviv).
She is also the co-founder of the start-up PiLi, with Thomas Landrain and Jérémie Blache, where she develops recyclable inks that are bio-produced by micro-organisms in the aim of replacing petrochemical molecules and creating new interactions and a new approach to production and consumption and therefore another approach to the world.
