Vincent Houzé creates interactive art, performances, and large-scale multimedia installations through which he explores our intimate connection to the natural world. His practice centers on simulations of physical phenomena in which simple rules give rise to complexity and realistic motion. The resulting tapestries are often shaped by, but not dependent on, the participation of onlookers, creating a rich and dreamlike world in which our relationship to invisible environmental forces is both immediately seen and felt.
Houzé was born and raised in Paris, where he studied computer science and graphic design. His work has been exhibited globally including at Google I/O in Mountain View, La Gaîté Lyrique in Paris, the Société des Arts Technologiques (SAT) in Montreal, the Times Art Museum in Beijing, and at the first two editions of the Day for Night Festival in Houston, among others. He has given artist talks and taught workshops in New York City, Mexico City, Paris, Shenzhen and Montreal. He was previously a member of NEW INC, the New Museum incubator for art and technology. Prior to embracing interactive art, Houzé worked as a visual effects designer for films, commercials, and video games in Paris and London. He currently lives and works in New York City.
