Isabelle Choinière is an international specialist in research-creation[1] and new hybrid contemporary scenes integrating technology, as well as a transdisciplinary artist. She is also a professor-researcher regularly invited to participate in research projects on the impact of media on the body in Europe, Canada and Latin America for her expertise as an artist and researcher.

Recognised by the local and international press (Le Monde[2]/Paris, Digimag[3]/Italy, Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten[4]/Germany, Brazilian Journal on Presence Studies[5]/Brazil, Inter Art actuel[6]/Quebec, Vie des arts[7] and Archée[8]/Montreal, etc.) as a designer-performer-visionary and pioneer of cyber-modernity,[9] as well as, according to French researcher Bernard Andrieu, or her fundamental work, both practical and theoretical, on "emersiology and the question of the perception of internal sensations," Isabelle Choinière has been proposing strong and original works that combine dance, performance, somatics and media arts since 1994. Since 2005, and more intensely since 2015, she has been recognized for her theoretical research (books and essays) and research-creation (Intellect Books[10]/UK, PUQ[11]/Quebec, cover pages of The IATC Journal/Revue de I'AICT, Critical Stages[12]/US, Europe, Revista Repertório[13]/Brazil, Inter Art actuel[14]/Quebec and Ballet Tanz Aktuell International/Germany) which "convincingly demonstrates the power of the collective - or if you prefer - a distributed scholarship and research that is still sorely lacking in the academy today". Her research-creations have been studied by academic case study research groups around the world since 1994.

She is the principal author and initiator of the book Par le prisme des sens : médiation et nouvelles réalités du corps dans les arts performatifs - Technologies, cognition et méthodologies émergentes de recherche-création,[11] a pedagogical tool published in French by PUQ ('Presses de l'Université du Québec')[11] (2019). This book is also published in English by Intellect Books[10] and The University of Chicago Press Books (2020) under the title Through the Prism of the Senses: Mediation and New Realities of the Body in Contemporary Performance - Technology, Cognition and Emergent Research-Creation Methodologies. [15]

Artistic, research and general director of the dance and digital arts company Le Corps Indice (1994-2008), Isabelle Choinière explores, from the perspective of the sensate and somatic body, the physical and psychic limits of the body in relation to digital medias, highlighting the ways in which new technologies affect this mutating body and reveal the new contemporary status of the body in the technological context. Her work on the relationship of the effects of meditation with the performative body questions the conventions - and connections - of corporality, corporeality, embodiment, cognition, and perception of spectators and performers. Her work integrates a reflection on ontology, ontogenesis, space and time[16] from which emerges an expanded and hitherto unseen conception of the body.

Based in Montreal, she was first identified as a choregrapher, performer and dancer. According to Andrea Davidson,[17] a theorist and former professor of Dance and New Media[18] at the University of Chichester in the United Kingdom, former dancer, and co-founder of one of the first French groups dealing with the relationship between dance, technology (Anomos,[19] and Laboratory Mediadanse associated to Paris 8 University Vincennes-Saint-Denis): "Isabelle Choinière is one of the few choreographers who has integrated technology into the centre of her practice from the very start."
