Patrick Tresset

Patrick Tresset is a French artist and scientist who investigates human artistic activity, computational creativity and our relation to machines, in particular our relations with robotic entities. In the context of his art practice, Patrick uses robotics to create autonomous robotic entities that are evocative representations of the artist, and in a certain manner a representation of himself. His robots are based on advanced technologies using research findings from robotics, computer vision, artificial intelligence and cognitive computing.
As a researcher he has published academic papers in the fields of artificial intelligence, computational aesthetics, computational creativity, social robotics, drawing research, digital arts and computer graphics.
Patrick's work has been internationally exhibited in solo and group shows, in association with major museums such as The Pompidou Center (Paris), Victoria & Albert Museum (London), Science Museum (London), Tate Modern (London), and art fairs such as London Art Fair, Kinetica Art Fair and Istanbul biennial.
Patrick's work has been featured in major media including The Times (UK), The Independent (UK), The Telegraph (UK), Le Monde (FR), New Scientist (UK), El Mundo (SP), L’Oeil (FR) as well as on radio programs, and Internet media worldwide.
