Muriel Lherm is a French-British artist based in London who works with artificial intelligence, moving image and digital installation to explore memory, identity and emotional presence. Lherm began making AI art around 2023, after winning an online art challenge, and combines classical references such as the Pre-Raphaelites with contemporary generative tools.
Lherm often sets classical music against hyper-contemporary visuals to create a deliberate dissonance between sound and image. Lherm also uses aesthetics that can look soft, cute or even childish as a way of carrying darker or more unsettling ideas. Recurring themes include disappearance, resilience and ecological fragility, and Lherm has said the work stays attentive to injustice and to the position of women without becoming confrontational or ideological.
