Antoine Schmitt
Visual artist

Antoine Schmitt creates works in the form of objects, installations and situations to address the processes of movement and question their intrinsic problematics, whether plastic, philosophical or social in nature.
Originally a programming engineer specializing in man-machine relations and artificial intelligence, he places the program - a contemporary artistic material unique in its active quality - at the heart of his creations, revealing and literally manipulating the forces at work. With a precise, minimal aesthetic, he poses the question of movement, its causes and its forms. Antoine Schmitt has also undertaken to articulate this approach to more established artistic fields such as dance, music, cinema, architecture or literature, and has collaborated with Franck Vigroux, Atau Tanaka, Vincent Epplay, Jean-Jacques Birgé, Delphine Doukhan, K. Danse, Patrice Belin, Don Nino, Cubenx, Alberto Sorbelli, Matthew Bourne...
As theorist, lecturer and editor of the gratin.org portal, he explores the field of programmed art.
His work has won several prizes at international festivals: transmediale (Berlin, second prize 2007, honorary 2001), Ars Electronica (Linz, second prize 2009), UNESCO International Festival of Video-Dance (Paris, first prize online 2002), Vida 5.0 (Madrid, honorary 2002), CYNETart (Dresden, honorary 2004), medi@terra (Athens, first prize 1999), Interférences (Belfort, first prize 2000), and has been exhibited at the Centre Georges Pompidou, Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Paris), Sonar (Barcelona), Ars Electronica (Linz), Centre d'Art Contemporain de Sienne, Musée d'Art Contemporain de Lyon, Nuits Blanches (Paris, Amiens, Metz, Brussels and Madrid), among others.
