Gaëtan Robillard is a media artist and visiting professor at Gustave Eiffel University (Paris Marne-la-Vallée). He is also a doctoral candidate in University Paris 8 and the Art and design school ESAD Tours. His theoretical research focuses on early generative aesthetics influenced by cybernetics and radical rationalism in Europe during the sixties. With a critical standpoint, it aims at studying the impact of algorithmic thinking in visual culture and artistic practice. Robillard has been developing films and installations since 2007, combining mathematics, climatology and semiology, while working within interdisciplinary teams. His artistic work has been shown in France and abroad. He is also involved in residency programs such as MediaFutures data-driven innovation hub (European consortium), and the Intelligent Museum Hertz-Lab (ZKM). Previously, in 2019, he was awarded a research grant by DAAD Germany, hosted by Frieder Nake at Compart Center of Excellence Digital Art (University of Bremen).
