Since 2013, Adèle Tilouine has held numerous solo and group exhibitions centered around the relationship between art and science, collaborating with research laboratories in France and abroad. She has undertaken artist residencies in laboratories (the TISBio microscopy platform, UGSF-PLBS, University of Lille in 2018 and 2020; the Femto-ST research laboratory, Besançon in 2024; the Department of Psychology at Harvard and Berklee College of Music, Boston in 2024, etc.). Through these residencies, she gains access to scientific equipment and knowledge, enabling her to create high-quality works presented at various art-science events, including solo and group exhibitions, fairs, performances, seminars, conferences, and academic talks. Awarded multiple times for her innovative personal work, she received the Passion Jeune Scholarship from CNRS in 2010, the Grand Prix Arbustes at the Arbuste Salon of Mantes-la-Jolie three times (2015, 2018, and 2019), third prize at the Minimalist Design Contest in 2019, the Prix des Amis du Salon d’Automne at the Paris Salon d’Automne in 2019 and 2022, the first prize at the SciArt Competition by Neuroverse in 2024, among others.

​

In 2018, she co-created the "Cellular Heroes" educational workshop with the scientific team at the TISBio laboratory in Lille. Produced in collaboration with CNRS, the University of Lille, the Alliance Française, and the Laïque Mission during a residency at the Grand Lycée Franco-Libanais in Beirut in November 2019, this project was later expanded to several primary schools, secondary schools, and high schools in France. The workshop was awarded by the Ministry of National Education during the 2021 Pedagogical Innovation Days. Adèle Tilouine then developed a series of pedagogical workshops, lectures, and science art exhibitions that she has presented at middle schools, high schools and universities since 2021, alongside her science-art practice.

​

Adèle Tilouine began her audiovisual collaboration "TakT" with Tyler Kaufman (composer, sound designer, and producer, London/Paris/Los Angeles) in the fall of 2019, and TakT quickly presented their work worldwide (France, Germany, India, South Korea, UAE, USA). Together, they co-create visual and auditory artistic experiences using new technologies and theories or scientific data from various disciplines (microscopy, neuroscience, psychology, biochemistry, nanotechnology, engineering, computer science, etc.). TakT collaborates with scientific laboratories and companies developing new technologies worldwide to acquire original scientific material, which they poetically transform into artistic experiences aimed at introducing the public to the aesthetics and fascinating concepts arising from current scientific innovations. Their works explore diverse scientific domains, from emotional expression in scientific modes, to the first reality show for bacteria, to reflections on the relationship between humans and the environment or even extinct plants. Their collaborative art-science work has won several artistic awards (ADAGP Prize for Digital Art at the Salon d'Automne 2021, winners of the Emerging Scene Art Prize in Dubai in 2021, finalists for the Arte Laguna Prize 2022, etc.).

​

Since 2021, TakT has developed a series of live art-science shows with live music and giant screen video projections. During these live shows, Tyler Kaufman plays a unique instrument, consisting of an ancient sitar neck and an electric bass guitar body, improvising over electronic music created from lab machine sounds, quotes from renowned scientists, and live looping. Meanwhile, Adèle Tilouine performs live V-jing, largely composed of scientific imagery provided by their partner laboratories. All live music is improvised in synchronization with the visual narrative, which includes real scientific data recontextualized as poetic imagery. This live art-science series has already been presented at festivals, concerts, ceremonies, and artistic or scientific events in France, Italy, and the United States and continues to grow.
