Creator Session with Romain Tardy

Romain Tardy is an accomplished figure in the visual and digital art scene, with over fifteen years of experience. His work has gained international recognition, often encompassing poetic sensory experiences that combine elements of light, video mapping, physical objects, and sound.
Romain's primary focus is creating tangible, offline art installations that transcend the limitations of screens. This work is influenced by his background in animation and post-production studios, as well as his experience as a VJ collaborating with prominent artists like Jay Z, Flying Lotus, and Murcof. From 2008 to 2013, he also played a significant role in the establishment and operation of the ANTIVJ label.
