Iyo Bisseck is a multidisciplinary artist, interaction designer, and programmer. Their artistic practice combines immersive digital environments, sculptural installations, animated images, and video games. Iyo Bisseck is part of collective organization such as Dreaming Beyond AI and Matri-Archi(tecture). In their work as a web designer, they contribute to the creation of online spaces for cultural, associative, and/or political projects.

In their artistic practice, Iyo Bisseck explores in a multidisciplinary way the construction, use, and perception of archives in the contemporary context. She highlights the materiality of the digital and the continuities of colonial systems hidden within it, using their artistic creations to support decolonial and queer struggles, as well as to create spaces of care and community connections. She is actively involved in the collection, preservation, and sharing of archives, seeking to transcribe diasporic realities through fiction and interactive media.
