PATRICK TRESSET

Patrick Tresset explores the representation of human presence and experience using computational systems, AI, robotics and traditional media. Born in 1967 in France and based in Brussels, he studied at Goldsmiths College in London, where he earned a master’s and an MPhil in Arts and Technology, senior research fellow at the University of Konstanz and later a visiting adjunct professor at the University of Canberra.

 

His work has been exhibited in major museums worldwide, such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Prada Foundation in Milan, the V&A in London, the MMCA in Seoul, the Grand Palais in Paris, BOZAR in Brussels, TAM in Beijing, Mcam in Shanghai, and the Mori Museum in Tokyo. His installations, paintings, drawings, and digital works have received prizes and distinctions, including from Lumen, Ars Electronica, NTAA-Liedst Foundation and the Japan Media Festival.

 

Although he has focused exclusively on his artistic practice for the past decade, his research into computational creativity and graphics is referenced in over 300 academic publications, including drawing, psychology, AI, robotics and computational graphics.
