Hello World
About me
My name is Bérénice Courtin, I am a multidisciplinary artist from Paris, based in Geneva and Barcelona, after my Master in Contemporary Applied Arts at the school Massana in Barcelona and an exchange in Geneva, in Switzerland, at the school HEAD. I am focused on textile arts, audio-visuals and performance. I’ve been collaborating recently with international artists for a project I’ve been working on for the past two years, talking about my grand father Kazimierz Gaca. He was a polish resistant during the Second World War, working with the ENIGMA machine. I made fabrics with a digital Jacquard loom (TC2), were I hid codes, inspired by the ENIGMA secret messages, comparing the loom and the ENIGMA machine, as both being the origins of the computer and the binary code. We also created a performance of experimental cinema on this subject that we presented at the festival La Alternativa, at CCCB in Barcelona.

You can edit it on Gitlab. The software used turns simple text files written in Markdown format, into the site you are navigating.
Each time you change a page using the Gitlab interface, the site is rebuilt and all the changes published in few minutes.
If this is your site, go on and edit this page clicking the Gitlab link on the upper right, changing the text below and deleting this.
No worries, you can't break anything, all the changes you make are saved under Version Control using GIT. This means that you have all the different versions of your page saved and available all the time in the Gitlab interface.
This is an example of how you can structure your documentation, including ways of adding images, videos, tables e.t.c. Once you start editing make sure that you delete the examples and you make this page yours.
##Assignments
you can showcase the progress on your assignments on this page with a grid below an example from the documentation of Loes Bogers TextileLab Amsterdam 2019-20

??? tip
remember to resize and optimize all your images. You will run out of space and the more data, the more servers, the more cooling systems and energy wasted :) make a choice at every image :) This image is optimised in size with resolution 72 and passed through tinypng for final optimisation.
