screenings at the Centre Pompidou, at festivals in France and abroad (Czech
Republic , Brazil, Canada) since 2009, she organizes workshops initiation
or completion of machinima , to democratize a practice that transforms an
object of mass consumption into a production tool.

In partnership with the Gamerz Festival in Aix -en- Provence, she designed
the first machinima exhibitions in art gallery and continues to work with
curatorial exhibitions of independent games, game art and retrogaming in
France with Dream Games

Besides her curatorial work, she produces abstract landscapes machinima
http://www.isabellearvers.com/2016/01/becoming-an-artist-slowly-slowly/ and
is about to collaborate with a dancer in order to mix dance and machinima.

During her residency in Dunkerque (january/may 2016) she wants to produce
collaborative machinima with migrants and refugees about their daily lives
in the "jungle" in order to link her work with social sciences research.
