Talk: Workshop Metaverse & AI for Media, Day 1, Session 3, 16:30 - 18:00

Christian “Mio” Loclair, founder of Journee and creative director at Waltz Binaire, is a new media artist and computer scientist from Berlin, Germany. He explores the friction of nature colliding with data and digital procedures. Using cutting edge technology and artificial intelligences in interactive installations, audio-visual experiences, visual narratives and dance performances, he continuously explores the harmony and tension of the encounter of humans and machines.

Mio is publishing his work on digital installations, unexpected galleries and theatre stages around the world for commercial and independent projects. Furthermore Mio spoke about the philosophy of his work at the Palais De Nations (United Nations), MIT (Boston), Centre Pompidou (Paris) and Frauenkirche (Dresden), among others. His work has been featured by companies such as Google, IBM, Mercedes Benz, BMW and VW and presented at museums such as Ars Electronica, Today Art Museum Beijing and Centre Pompidou.
