This new monograph of 368 pages, in a French and an English edition, presents the work of Miguel Chevalier during the latest eight years (2000-2008).
It shows the evolution of his work that deals with the immateriality in art.

Since 1978, Miguel Chevalier has focussed exclusively on computers as an artistic means of expression. He takes his sources in the history of art
to explore the question of the hybrid, generative and interactive image.
He continues to be a trailblazer and has quickly secured a spot on the international scene as a pioneer of virtual and digital art and as one of the most
significant artists on the contemporary scene. This monograph presents his experimental and multidisciplinary work by recurrent themes such as Nature and Artifice,
Flows and Networks, Virtual Cities and Arabesques.

Five original texts from specialists, bringing a new approach on his work, feature in this book.
The authors: Mario Costa, Edmond Couchot, Gunnar B. Kvaran, Ariella Masboungi, Mohamed Rachdi

About Miguel Chevalier


Miguel Chevalier - Miguel Chevalier
Miguel Chevalier est né à Mexico en 1959. Il travaille principalement à Paris où il est installé depuis 1985. Diplômé de l’École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts de Paris 80 et de l’École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs 83, il a reçu la bourse Lavoisier pour le Pratt Institute à New York en 84 et a été lauréat de la villa Kujoyama à Kyoto au Japon en 94. Son champ d’investigation prend ses sources dans l’histoire de l’art dont il reformule à l’aide de l’outil informatique les données essentielles. Ses thèmes se rapportent à son observation des flux et des réseaux qui organisent nos sociétés contemporaines. Il s’est imposé internationalement comme l’un des pionniers de l’art virtuel et du numérique. Les images qu’il nous livre interrogent perpétuellement notre relation au monde. Une monographie de 1985 à 2000 a été publiée aux éditions Flammarion et, en octobre 2008, une nouvelle Monographie 2000/2008 est publiée aux éditions Monografik. Une exposition personnelle, Fractal Flowers, à la Galerie Suzanne, à Paris sera suivie, du 18 décembre 2008 au 1er janvier 2009 d’une installation, Fractal Flowers Bubble, avec les architectes Moatti & Rivière au Grand Palais, à Paris. L’année 2009 sera marquée par les Paysages Imaginaires, en janvier à la Maison des Arts de Malakoff et Promenons nous dans les bois, au Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature, à Paris.
