Cassandre Poirier-Simon specializes in hybrid, poetic narrative systems between the tangible and the digital, at the crossroads of different types of narrative media
Poirier-Simon founded the digital communication agency Myth_n in 2016, which works with museums, teachers, authors and cultural institutions. She graduated from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Toulouse and earned a Master’s degree in Media Design at HEAD – Geneva in 2012. Since then, she has become an expert in the field of digital narration and experiences. Poirier-Simon gives more or less experimental lectures at conferences on digital literature (Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Labo de l’Edition in Paris, Center for Future Publishing in Geneva) and exhibits her interactive stories.
She holds digital creation workshops with educational video games on diversity, citizenship, and the environment for use in the classroom or in museums. She is also a digital culture mediator at the Geneva Municipal Libraries, where she organizes exhibitions, workshops and conferences on digital culture.
In 2016, she received the Collide Geneva Award in digital writing.
