After studying art and graphic design at the École des Beaux-Arts de Bretagne and ERG Brussels, Alice Cadillon graduated with a master's degree in Exhibition Practices from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels. Driven by her interest in publishing, performative reading, and virtual spaces, she independently learned coding and began developing websites for artists and cultural institutions.
Since 2020, she has been collaborating as a frontend developer with the studio Bien à Vous, working on projects such as websites for Kaaitheater, Charleroi Danse, and Théâtre Varia. In 2023, she co-founded the multidisciplinary graphic design studio Greta oto with graphic designer Eva Lambert.
Alongside these collaborative projects, she conducts personal research on time-giving and time-keeping objects, focusing on alternative temporality and its narratives.
