Multimedia artist and education designer Anne Willieme leads ALW Atelier, an art production space that brings about interactive art performances/ installations, choreographies, dream work and art engagement programs.

Willieme delves into how multisensory artworks can enhance our perception and how deepened sensory pathways can help us access new ways of thinking, feeling, and seeing.

Interactivity is a central tenant for the artist as she invites viewers to become participants in her art pieces. Additionally, her practice focuses on the realms of self and planetary ecology, dream work and art analogues as potent territories within which art can act.

WIllieme’s approach is inherently multidisciplinary both in terms of her artwork, as she makes use of multiple media, and also because of her collaborations across domains. Willieme blurs, too, the line between artwork and workshop, as she considers art engagement programs as an intricate part of her artistic approach.

ALW Atelier mixes high and low tech, working with paint as well as augmented reality and partners with academics, scientists, physicians and software engineers.
