Martial Geoffre-Rouland
Martial Geoffre-Rouland is a French interactive designer, residing in Lyon, founder of the interactive design studio screen-club. With a diploma from Elisava Barcelona, Higher School of Design and Engineering, his work revolves around digital art and new technologies. A jack of all trades, his projects emerge from collaborations with agencies, artists, independent studios, graphic designers, and companies, in fields as diverse as web, digital installations, or scenography. Since 2009, he has been conducting workshops and lectures in France and Europe on both technical and theoretical subjects, aiding participants in unlocking the digital potential and the language of code across various practices like visuals, sound, or data visualization. He is a member of the Graffiti Research Lab France. Additionally, he has been an artist in residency at Google Arts & Culture Lab since 2020.
Gael Hugo
Gaël Hugo is a swiss interactive designer settled in Paris in 2005, where he founded “one more studio” a few years later. His design practice aims to reflect the blurry boundaries of visual communication in a digital age. Gaël Hugo likes to produce dedicated design solutions relayed by – in his own words – dubious self-made tools to achieve unexpected visual experiences. This experimental and playful approach allowed him to work with musicians, cultural institutions as well as with artists, designers or commercial brands. Gaël Hugo is now a regular artist in residence at Google Arts & Culture in Paris since 2015 where he specialized in using machine learning in creative ways and also teaches interaction design at ECAL University of art and design in Lausanne since 2006.
Crafting Reality : Images in Your Hands
Timetable : 10am – 5pm
The workshop is hosted by Martial Geoffre-Rouland and Gaël Hugo, both of whom are artists-in-residence at the Google Arts & Culture Lab. In this interactive session, we will guide participants through methods for rapid prototyping of interactive projects that combine web technologies, machine learning, and open-source frameworks.
These hands-on projects aim to help attendees quickly build prototypes that incorporate computer vision techniques, like tracking and shape segmentation, as well as image generation capabilities.
Prerequisites for Participants
Participants should have basic skills in web development and a keen interest in JavaScript to fully engage with the workshop’s interactive elements. Each participant must come with a laptop with a webcam. A working web environment must be set up on each participant’s laptop.
