Adrien M & Claire B Information

The Adrien M & Claire B Company creates digital and living art forms, ranging from stage performance to installations. Led by juggler, artist and computer scientist Adrien Mondot and graphic designer Claire Bardainne, the Lyon based company combines the real and virtual worlds with IT tools that are developed and customized specifically for each installation and performance. Their approach puts the human experience at the centre of technological issues, with a strong visual focus on the body and unique bespoke technologies created in-house. They strive to create living digital art: mobile, handcrafted, short-lived, and responsive. In 2011, they wrote the conference-performance "Un point c'est tout" and the digital scenography of "Grand Fracas issus de rien", directed by Pierre Guillois. In 2013 they created "Hakanai", a show for one dancer in an immersive environment. In 2014, they co-signed the performance of "Pixel" with Mourad Merzouki (CCN Creteil and Val-de-Marne/Cie Kafg). In 2015, they created "Le mouvement de l'air", and were honored by receiving the SACD Digital Creation award of the year. In 2016-2017, they will continue working on upcoming exhibit "Mirages & miracles". Together, they aspire to create an art of movement to set the human body in resonance with graphic and digital arts. The result is a poetic visual language blending imaginary, real and virtual dimensions while bearing unlimited opportunities for artistic exploration.
