Jacqueline Beaumont is a transdisciplinary bio-media designer, researcher, and artist whose work is rooted in the intricate relationships between biotechnology, sex, nature/culture, and corporeal materialism. Her creative process weaves together fiber arts, audio/visual media, and immersive installations with scientific research and biotechnologies. This fusion results in an artistic practice that enhances one's perception of the body, culture, media, and power.

Drawing inspiration from new-materialist philosophy, Beaumont meticulously examines the disparities between matter and biopower, challenging traditional distinctions between art and science. As a researcher, she is an independent affiliate at the esteemed Milieux Institute, contributes her expertise to the Concordia University Research Chair in Critical Practices in Materials and Materiality, and works as a Collaborating Researcher at the Biointerface Lab, a department of Material Engineering at McGill University in Montréal.

Beaumont has exhibited, lectured, and collaborated internationally at distinguished venues such as the Centre Pompidou, Mutek, Elektra, MIT, and EnsadLab. Her published works include “Speculative Non-wovens for filtering urban air pollution” (Jarry + Beaumont), which will appear in the Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of World Textiles - Textile Futures, and “[re]capture” (Jarry. et al), set to be featured in Emergence/y from MIT Press. Both are forthcoming in 2023/2024.

She has been the recipient of numerous accolades, including the prestigious gold medal from IGEM 2019, the Eastern Bloc µPrize 2020, the Sarah Leaney Award in Ceramics and Fibers 2020, and the Nouvelle Garde Artistic Internship 2022. Most recently, she received the Concordia University Graduate Award (2023) as well as a CGS M Scholarship (SSHRC) to support the development of her graduate research. Currently, she is conducting her research through a Master of Fine Arts degree at Concordia University in Montréal.
