Adrien M & Claire B

Concept & Artistic Direction

The Lyon-based digital art company Adrien M & Claire B took its current form in 2011, when Claire Bardainne and Adrien Mondot joined forces to create living digital art with their distinctive, poetic vocabulary. Their work seeks to transcend the spatial and temporal boundaries of stage performance, fusing moving images, digital technology and movement into a visual experience that blends the real with the virtual.

With a background in both computer science and juggling, Adrien Mondot began combining the two in 2004, with his Cinématique winning the Grand Jury Prize at the Dance and New Technology International Competition of the Bains Numériques Festival. Claire Bardainne is a visual artist with a background in graphic design and scenography, with a keen eye for the semiotics and spaces created by images and symbols. Since 2011, the company has created numerous works combining movement and digital technology, including WYZT, Abstract Landscapes, Hakanaï, Pixel, and The Movement of Air. Their recent works, Mirages & miracles and Acqua Alta, have received worldwide acclaim for their incredible mixture of real and virtual worlds.
