Justine van den Driessche - AI

Hors Piste - Digital Artists

By merging contemporary aesthetic codes with those of earlier periods, Justine van den Driessche investigates how images contribute to the construction of collective narratives and cultural memory. Fictional landscapes, hybrid temporalities and the fluidity of gender identities emerge through disenchanted figures, visual fictions haunted by the logic of obsolescence, whether technological, aesthetic, or environmental. Her work has been featured in several artistic events across Europe, most recently at Le Hangar in Brussels as part of the AImagine – Photography and Generative Images exhibition in 2025. She holds a Master’s degree in Visual and Spatial Arts from Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Brussels and a Bachelor in Fine Arts from Université Paris 8. In 2024, she was selected as a laureate by Le Hangar for the Prompt – Photography and Generative Image project, chaired by art historian Michel Poivert.

Statumanoïdes

Statumanoids depicts a generation caught between flesh and fiction, where youth takes form in hybrid beings—part statue, part humanoid. Their features evoke the undead, theatrical and fragile, echoing both classical sculpture and post-human ambiguity. The name itself, a fusion of “statue” and “humanoid,” signals this duality. Outfits blend baroque theatricality with urban streetwear, creating an anachronistic tension—between Commedia dell’arte and fashion editorial, melancholy and burlesque. These visual tableaux reference academic poses while twisting them into something unsettlingly contemporary. Each figure becomes a study in identity metamorphosis: frozen, unstable, always in flux. Through generative tools, forms are reconfigured—bodies become improvisations, merging mineral, organic, and digital textures. In this alchemy of contrasts, the work interrogates what it means to be human when even our skin becomes simulation.
