Claire Jervert is an intermedia artist whose work examines how technological, economic, and cultural systems quietly reorganize everyday life. Working across drawing, painting, immersive environments, and AI-based encounters, she approaches contemporary technologies not as innovation narratives but as lived conditions—structures that shape identity, consent, and survival through familiarity rather than force. Her practice operates as a form of reconnaissance, tracing how authority, trust, and agency are redistributed through tools and environments people are encouraged to rely on.
Over the past two decades, Jervert’s work has addressed the rise of digital capitalism, biometric governance, privatized security, and artificial sociality. Projects have ranged from painting series built from corporate branding, to drawings of speculative infrastructures such as artificial islands and bunkers, to portrait-based works engaging humanoid robots and AI-driven conversational systems. Across these forms, portraiture and landscape function as parallel methods: both register how stability is rehearsed, how risk is displaced, and how human presence is mediated by design. Her work resists spectacle and solutionism, favoring duration, proximity, and sustained observation.
In recent work incorporating immersive environments, Jervert extends these inquiries spatially, allowing viewers to enter reconstructed spaces connected to her drawings and encounters. Rather than simulating futures, these environments situate viewers inside systems already in motion, asking what has been normalized, outsourced, or quietly accepted in exchange for efficiency and security.
Jervert’s work has been exhibited internationally at museums, galleries, and cultural institutions, and her projects have been presented in both physical and immersive contexts. Her practice is informed by long-term research, on-site encounters, and direct engagement with technological development as it unfolds. She lives and works in New York.
