Three years ago, she started the postgraduate programme “Information Experience Design” at the London Royal College of Art (RCA). She acquired quantitative skills in Data Analysis, but also be initiated to psychology, anthropology and communication which impulse her interest for human behaviour. She took an unusual route, starting her studies at the University College of London in Human Sciences. This young Englishwoman and London-based designer not always seems to be interested by art and only art. Emily Groves’ works and projects demonstrate that art has a significant impact in our daily life. This feeling could be due to some artistic movements which don’t represent the reality of their time, and finally create a gap between the vision of the society they give, and the reality that people live. Who never experimented this feeling that “art is for artists”? – The idea that the art, its history and its techniques are reserved for insiders. When you don’t study art, or even practise some kind of arts (painting, drawing, sculpture,…) it may seems difficult to have a legitimacy for writing a blog about an artist. WRITING A BLOG ABOUT ART, WITHOUT BEING AN ARTIST So, I think that my experience abroad will be a good opportunity to do this. Since this project, I always wanted to start again.

Why? Because last year, I helped with the setting-up of an exhibition at Université Paris-Dauphine in partnership with Paris Fine Art School’s students. For this blog, I had the desire to find a student who had graduated from the well-known London Royal College of Art (RCA). My first introduction to Emily Groves’ works was on the Internet – which is funny considering that her works are based on connections between digital and physical art forms.
