Gauthier Le Rouzic: Interactive Installations and New Media Art

Gauthier Le Rouzic is a contemporary visual artist and innovative creator based in France, renowned for his expertise in interactive installations and new media art. His artistic practice focuses on the complex dialogue between technological evolution and human communication. Gauthier Le Rouzic is perhaps best known for projects such as TypeWriterBot and the Érosion Numérique series, the latter of which includes “Kneeling Persian,” notably the first NFT collection acquired by a French museum. His work frequently involves the repurposing of legacy machines and hardware, combining them with contemporary programming to evoke a sense of digital nostalgia and ludic engagement. By transforming inert objects into communicative tools, he invites audiences to reflect on the history of the information revolution and the future of human-machine relationships. Gauthier Le Rouzic has showcased his creations in prominent international venues and festivals, including the 404 Festival in Mexico City and Japan, Cairotronica in Egypt, and various prestigious institutions across France such as the Musée Granet and FRAC Bretagne. His approach is characterized by a “geek artist” aesthetic that avoids science fiction tropes in favor of a profound, pragmatic exploration of how humans interact with technology. Through his installations, Gauthier Le Rouzic continues to challenge the boundaries of perception, communication, and the materiality of the digital age.
