Graduated in audiovisual studies at Lumière Lyon 2 University , Léa has progressively oriented her practice towards virtual arts and hybrid systems, adopting an approach focused on digital emotions. Her research-creation path articulates sensitive interfaces and explores human subjectivity through artistic processes.

Her research particularly focuses on friction zones between bodies and the “new” media, considered as creative materials, emotions as vectors, and society as a framework for these interactions. Artistic creation constitutes for her a means of research, experimentation, and expression within these contact zones... 

She published a book, Les émotions dans les créations artistiques (Presses des Mines, 2024), which synthesizes her work.

She teaches at university and in art schools and works on new media bodies (physiological interfaces, wearables), as well as innovation and research-creation processes.
