Christian Laroche
Artist and research lecturer at the European School of Visual Arts (ÉESI), he is also a member of the SLIDERS_lab. After studying at the Rouen School of Fine Art, he obtained his M.A. In Art Technology and Image at the University of Paris 8 in 1987. Since 1996 he has also taught at ENSAMA ( École nationale supérieure for the arts et industrial textiles ) in Paris and the ENSBA ( École nationale supérieure of Fine-Arts ) in Dijon.
As an artist he produces interactive robots which he has exhibited internationally: Biennial Update (Ghent, Belgium), Arslab (Turin, Italy), ARTEC 93 (Nagoya, Japan), MANCA (Nice, France), Les Immatériaux (Pompidou Centre, France), Siggraph’85 (San Francisco, United States), etc.
His research and developmental work is particularly attuned to interactive
design, captors and motor-units, robotics, 3D visualisation, as well as
interactive video and communication protocols.
The robots he has designed exhibit group-like behaviour, relationships at
once between themselves and toward the onlooker.
