Born in Cormeilles-en-Parisis in 1999, Thomas Ferreira lives and works in Lille. A visual artist, researcher and multimedia programmer, his work explores the relationship between traces and digital technologies. After studying anthropology in Rouen, he graduated from the University of Lille and the École supérieure d’art Dunkerque-Tourcoing in 2024. He is currently a student at Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains and is about to begin a PhD in research-creation. His work examines the forms of disappearance, erasure and deterioration at work in digital environments, whether technical, cultural or social. He explores how the presence of a trace can paradoxically become more intense when it is fragmented or depleted. In 2025, he spoke at the “AI and Image” study day, organised by the journal *Transbordeur* and the Institut pour la photographie of Lille. His work has also been presented by Artagon as part of the Art-Émergence programme at Frac Île-de-France, as well as in several institutions across the region.
