With two galleries, two exhibitions and four installations, French artist-researcher Samuel Bianchini pursues his experiments with viewers at work, exploring and challenging our senses.
Bianchini surprised us in Rennes by exhibiting the result of an original collaboration with two Breton university departments. By “refurbishing” three of his interactive works at a gallery in Paris (2), the young artist is claiming his place in an art market wary of technology and interactivity. Th...
FLOW 5.0 is a smart wall composed of hundreds of ventilators that interact with passing visitors. By walking and interacting with this surface, visitors trigger the emergence of an illusive landscape created by transparent fields and artificial wind.

The 2000’s passed without any artistic movement whatsoever emerging. Critics were silent, gradually replaced by curators and other festival art directors. But there are however a few practices and trends that are identifiable today.
The artist also remembers the time spent in drawing bones – in order to better understand and assimilate them – in the anatomy room at the Beaux-Arts in Paris. But the five skulls in the vanities series have nothing to do with photography, other th...
Interactivity is one of the central issues in Samuel Bianchini’s work. His pieces have been exhibited in such places as the Paris Musée d’Art Moderne, the Karlsruhe ZKM, and during such events as the White Nights and the Rennes Biennial.

With a doctorate in Art and Art Science entitled Operating in Media Reality, defended at the Palais de Tokyo, Samuel Bianchini is involved in numerous research projects, and often works in collaboration with scientific research lab...
