Pierre Cutellic | Architect and New Media Artist

Pierre Cutellic is a prominent figure in the field of computational architecture and new media art, operating under the moniker CompMonks. Based in Zurich, Switzerland, he serves as a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer at ETH Zürich, having obtained his PhD in technology for architecture. His research focuses on vision-based brain-computer interfaces (BCI) and their integration into design processes, a theme that translates directly into his artistic practice. Pierre Cutellic creates complex interactive and generative installations that investigate the relationship between human cognition and digital systems. Notable works such as the Proteus series and the immersive installation Dreamcatcher use AI and EEG data to create evolving landscapes and material representations of dreams. His projects have gained international recognition, featuring in prestigious institutions and festivals such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, ZKM Karlsruhe, the Trondheim Biennale for Arts and Technology, and the Ars Electronica Festival. His background as a trained architect, graduating summa cum laude from ENSA Paris-Malaquais, informs a practice that spans physical installation production, digital building technologies, and immersive XR experiences. By combining scientific research with artistic expression, Pierre Cutellic pushes the boundaries of how we perceive and interact with computational systems.
