Ghislaine has more than 25 years experience in the performing arts, mainly through working at Chisenhale Dance Space (1985-88) and as a director and founding member of the London based sound/movement research unit shinkansen (1989-2004). During this period she curated dance technology seasons with the Institute of Contemporary Arts and Dance Umbrella London. She has also worked as a dramaturg alongside many renowned international choreographers in the 1990s as they began to use digital technologies and telematic connectivity.

She has co-directed around 40 interauthored and network based projects in Europe, US and Asia including: European Choreographic Forums (Butterfly Effect Network 1992-96); Sound Works Exchanges (1995–98); koerper-technik//body-technologies (Theater der Welt Berlin 1999) and Woven Bodies – Woven Cultures – East-West focus (International Summer Theatre Festival, Hamburg 1999).

She conceived and co-directed a series of research residencies/workshops supported by ResCen. The symposium Virtual Physical Bodies in 1999, initiated a number of process-based explorations called CellBytes, small performance pieces exploring realtime dual stage connection using the internet (telematics). These group creation processes include CellBytes00 (Arizona State University 2000), CellBytes01 (ResCen Middlesex University 2001), Corpos Online (Lugar Comun Lisbon 2000).

Ghislaine regularly lectures and moderates at international conferences and events. Her belief in fair intercultural practice is also reflected throughout her working life. In 2000 she co-directed and moderated two major discussion ateliers on identity and interculturalism for well-known choreographers from South East Asia, South America, Africa and Europe (Munich Dance 2000, Copenhagen International Dancing World Festival). She has been regularly invited to contribute to the British Council Re-Inventing Britain series, most recently with Connecting Flights, Two Cities 4X4, a project between London, Delhi and New York and Digi-ID (Akademi 2002). Full details and a debate on the working methodologies of these projects and their media are all available in The Weave.

From 2001—04 she worked as Artistic Director of Future Physical, a commissioning and networking programme which focused on placing the human body (performer and public) at the centre of digital interaction. This project gave rise to 25 new artist commissions and the Creative User report on public participation in interactive arts.

In 2005 the fifteen years of work by shinkansen and Future Physical (375 events, with a media library of over 750 items) were acquisitioned by the British Library and are archived at the Connectivity portal.

In 2005 Ghislaine co-founded body>data>space with architect and video artist Armand Terruli. body>data>space is a London based design collective who take installations and live performances into mid to large-scale public environments and architectural builds, shifting the relationship between the artist, content and the audience. Supported by Arts Council of England it researches and explores the expanding integration between the human body, technology and architectural space. Merging content and interactivity into new generation display interfaces and using connectivity technologies such as telematics, the group presents intelligent and innovative community-connected projects in the UK and internationally.

body>data>space has developed an original and unique portfolio of moving image installations, audio visual live performances and interactive facades for architecture, creating a business that thrives on the cross-pollination of ideas and practices between arts and creative industries. Projects have been completed with newsite Colchester, Martello Towers Jaywick, Artist Links Shanghai, AVITUK Birmingham, Numero Festival Lisbon, CynetART Dresden, Late at the Tate Britain, Leftfield Glastonbury Festival, Digi-Cultures Nottingham, Big Chill House and Festival, Roxy Bar and Screen London, Node L, Future Shorts, Cybersonica and DHRA Dartington College. body>data>space holds regular Open In Process debates and showings by performance and digital artist.

In 2007 body>data>space was awarded a European Commission Culture Programme 2007-2013 award with Eira (Portugal) and CIANT (Czech Republic). Post Me_New ID will examine the complexity of 21st century European human identity with an exploration of the evolution of cyborg culture through technologies of the body. The outputs include the creation of a public research blog, a performance and a forum to be held in Lisbon in autumn 2008.
