Biography
Neïl Beloufa is a French-Algerian filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist. His multifaceted practice addresses themes of geopolitics, technology, urbanism, and ideology through layered projects that combine video, sculpture, social participation, and often dynamic processes like sensor activation or algorithmic control. Blending electrical and technical materials in circuitous, uncanny arrangements, the artist levies his systems to interrogate social atomization and contemporary power structures in the age of information.

Neïl Beloufa (b. 1985, Paris, France) studied at École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts and at École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, Paris; California Institute of the Arts, Valencia, USA; Cooper Union, New York; and Le Fresnoy National Contemporary Arts Studio, Tourcoing, France. He has exhibited in numerous solo exhibitions worldwide, including at Kunsthalle Basel; Renaissance Society, Chicago; Secession, Vienna; Pirelli Hangar Bicocca, Milan; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Schirn Künsthalle, Frankfurt; Pejman Foundation, Tehran; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Schinkel Pavilion, Berlin; and Hammer Museum, Los Angeles. He participated in the Venice Biennale in 2013 and 2019, the Shanghai Biennale and Taipei Biennale in 2014, and the Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art in 2013. His work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; François Pinault Collection; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; and the Stoschek Collection, Düsseldorf, among others. He lives and works in Paris.
