About

Jason Cook, Franco-American visual artist, is a pioneer in the field of digital fine arts in France. For twenty years, he has been creating artworks that challenge the boundaries of interaction between humans and technology, incorporating electronic, mechanical, and computing elements. His often surreal approach to technology as a medium of creative expression imparts an emotional and whimsical quality to his works. Through his art, he explores our relationship with technology, particularly the subconscious dynamics between human and machine.

Since 2006, after his studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, he has traveled and worked with numerous artists using new technologies as a means of expression in New Orleans and Chicago (US), Montreal (Canada), Normandy, the Pyrenees, Provence, and Paris (France). His main motivation in his project choices, whether independent or collaborative, is based on the potential of physical movement, kinetic behaviors, and animation in general. Robotics, mechanics, programming, and electronics are his core skills in experimentation, development, and production of artworks.
