Pierre is a Swiss/Peruvian London-based new media artist and interactive designer.

He uses emerging technologies and merges them with analogue tools to deliver new forms of art that respond to contemporary demands set by the post-digital era we are living in. 

Concerned with our rapidly changed and changing relationships with digital technologies and art forms, Pierre’s work is a mix between embodied media and mixed reality; between visual, haptic, auditory, and kinaesthetic media experiences, to achieve new perceptions through audiovisual experiences.

Ultimately, Pierre’s work spans installations, performances, moving images and photography.

Pierre graduated with a master’s in Digital Direction at the Royal College of Art (RCA) and is currently a lecturer in immersive media, mixed reality and motion graphics at the University of the Arts London (UAL) and Brunel University.

Pierre’s work has been exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery (London), Cromwell Place (London), IKLECTIK (London), OneRoom Gallery (London), RichMix (London), Milton Court (London), Ugly Duck (London), Bright Festival (Leipzig), Media Art Nexus (Singapore), SomaRumor (Sao Paulo) and Munich Creative Business Week (Munich).

01 VEX MACHINA - HOME
2024





Format: Installation
        Film (2m00s)      
Vex Machina is a 3-channel immersive video displayed at the Saatchi Gallery as part of the PIVOTAL: Digitalism show curated by Rebekah Tolley-Georgiou for the British Art Fair.

What does it mean to be human in screen-based living?


Our digital identities are better connected than ever, but the more we devote to immersing ourselves in virtuality, the less important our physical humanity becomes in defining who we are. Abstract human forms move, see and touch, aware and agile in a digital world – can their corporeality be denied? We do not critique: we simply observe.


Vex Machina (2024). By Asher Yang, Cynthia Meng & Pierre Engelhard.
