François is an international award winning multi-disciplinary artist working in video, digital collage, and installation. His practice explores the quiet violence of state power and the biopolitical systems that govern bodies, health, and the environment with a focus on the impact of technological progress and capitalist excesses on our natural world.

Through a layered digital aesthetic, he investigates the presence of *forever chemicals* as both material and metaphor—symbols of how harm is embedded, sanctioned, and made invisible by structures of control.

He made the Lumen Prize Shortlist for the Moving Image Award. He has shown works at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Geneva International Film Festival, CyFest in St Petersburg, Beacons Festival in Skipton UK, The Boston Biennale, HUBweek Boston, the Museum of Science Boston, The MIT Museum, the Boston Convention Center, the Boston Sculptors Gallery, Installation Space gallery, Tufts University, Atlantic Works, and performed at First Night Boston, Boston CyberArts, Lynn Arts, and Pixilerations. Some of his video work was featured at the Swissnex dome for HUBweek Boston, Virtual Territories at the Geneva International Film Festival, Beacons Lumen Festival in the UK, and at Illuminus Boston. He is a member of the Soundscape Visions collective, where he has been awarded multiple grants from the Lynn Cultural Council.

François is an artist and educator with a Master’s degree in fine arts from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. He teaches photography, video, editing and post-production. When he isn’t in the studio or out exploring nature, he volunteers at Salem Arts Association as an artist member and exhibition Chair.
