About
Jason Cook is a Franco-American artist and designer living in Montpellier, France. Since 2005, following his studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, he has traveled and worked with many artists using new technology as an expressive medium in New Orleans and Chicago (US), Montreal (CA), Normandy, Pyrenees, Provence and Paris (FR). The principal motivation of his projects, independent or collaborative, is the potential of working with movement, kinetic behaviors and animation in general. Robotics, mechanics, programming and custom electronics are the basis of his skillset in practices of experimentation, development and production.
