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 in Cromwell Place (London), IKLECTIK (London), OneRoom Gallery (London), RichMix (London), Milton Court (London), Bright Festival (Leipzig), Media Art Nexus (Singapore), SomaRumor (Sao Paulo) and Munich Creative Business Week (Munich).

08 Dancing with the Past - HOME 
2021




Format: Installation 
       
Dancing With the Past is an immersive audiovisual installation which allows visitors to experience a glimpse of the perception of time within digital realms.

The installation questions the non-existence of time, stored-in-the-cloud-selves and multiplied identities of the digital by using dance as a material to illustrate the play between physical and digital spaces.

These concepts are explored in an abstract and playful manner by allowing the visitors to dance with the past, shining a light on an all-too-contemporary state of having your persona fractured in time and frozen in the system.
The experience encourages intertemporal interactions -and ultimately the act of dancing with ourselves.

Dancing with the Past has been exhibited at the Bright Festival in the Kunstkraftwerk in Leipzig, Germany from 21 October to 24 October 2021 and at Riposte London on 12 November 2021.
