Geolocation | Audio | In situ

An art installation designed by Marie Muller during her residency at Locus Sonus. My main task was to assist Marie by building the various elements needed for the installation to work as intended:

  • A system for tracking the position of a person moving in a room.
  • A mobile app for tracking the orientation of the person's head.
  • A 3D virtual scene to process all incoming data and play the according sounds.

Sandbox | Exploration | Genetic Algorithm

An experiment that makes use of a genetic algorithm supposed to be autonomous and iterate a great number of time to allow for a quick evolution process through reproduction and mutation. Here, we gave the selection process to players so that they could choose which Migeon should pass its genes on. The genes here are simply build orders.

Made with Guillaume and Stéphanie.

Appeared on Indie Impressions, Warp Door, L'Oujevipo.

About

Designer and programmer

After studying Computer Science and finding a job as a software engineer I entered ENJMIN in Angoulême to study Game Design. I then worked on a few video games as a game designer before starting a PhD.

Since then I've delved into 3D programming, alternative controllers, creative coding and procedural art, co-founded the game collective Le Chant du cygne and created many videogames and interactive installations.

PhD and lecturer

As a PhD candidate at Cnam/CEDRIC in Paris I focused on the specific narrative form of emergent games that make extensive use of procedurally generated content. I published a few articles about it.

Since 2011, I have taught game design, gameplay development, 3D programming classes and held workshops on alternative controllers, shaders, lighting and other game related topics in many schools, such as Cnam ENJMIN, Estienne, University Paris XIII or ICAN.
