Mathieu Le Sourd, also known as MAOTIK, is a French digital artist with a focus on creating immersive environments, interactive installations and audiovisual performances which play at the intersection of art, science, and technology.
The artist studied Digital Media Production at the London College of Communication in London and holds a Master's Degree in Digital Arts from Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona. MAOTIK creates immersive environments using custom-designed software that transform perceptions of reality in real time. His approach to generative art is defined by the fluid motion of images and their seamless integration into immersive spaces. His work is inspired by nature, abstracting its essence through audiovisual sculptures based on randomness, creating unique experiences each time. He frequently involves audiences in his work, pushing the boundaries of perception with generative art, sound, algorithms, and data to envelop viewers in a fully immersive artistic experience.
His work has been presented at international festivals and institutions worldwide, including Mutek, Sonar, Oi Futuro in Rio, Art Basel, Frieze London, FIAC Paris, Signal Festival in Prague, British Film Institute in London, ARS Electronica in Linz, Miraikan Science Museum in Tokyo, B39 in Seoul, Funkhaus in Berlin, La Biennale in Venice, Fondation Serralves, W1 Curates, CCCB and Philharmonie in Paris.

As a musician, he has worked as a solo artist and as a member of multiple projects, having participated in 60 recordings to date. He is a founding member of the band peixe : avião, mentor of the projects The Astroboy and Landforms, member of the collective La La La Ressonance and the duo Palmer Eldritch. Since 2014, he has had a duo with pianist Joana Gama with whom he has collaborated with Ricardo Jacinto, José Alberto Gomes, Drumming GP, Orquestra Metropolitana and Orquestra de Guimarães.
In 2018 he developed the project "Speaking of Chance", exploring controlled randomness in modular synthesis systems together with André Gonçalves and Lloyd Cole. He collaborated with Rodrigo Leão on the composition, interpretation and production of the work Cérebro: Mais Vasto que o Céu, commissioned by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, and with Maria João on the production of the disc "Abundância".
The scope of his work extends to the composition of music for theatre, dance, cinema, video and installations, including the film Mahjong by João Pedro Rodrigues and João Rui Guerra da Mata, presented at the Cannes and Locarno Festivals, the Porto Poetic exhibition in homage to architects Álvaro Siza and Eduardo Souto Moura at the Triennale di Milano, and the plays "Os Três Irmãos" and "Corpo Clandestino" by Victor Hugo Pontes.
Over the course of three days, I carried out an artistic residency to finalise the piece Aural Device #2, commissioned by the Zer0 Museum. During this period, the implementation of this generative work on site was tested, as well as how it will be influenced by the aural ecosystem of Santa Catarina de Fonte do Bispo and the acoustic resonances of the Museu Zer0.
Francisca Rocha Gonçalves and Christian Dimpker are an interdisciplinary duo who merge the boundaries between visual composition, sound art and ecological research. Francisca, an interdisciplinary researcher with a background in biological sciences and digital media, explores underwater soundscapes and the impact of anthropogenic noise on aquatic ecosystems, translating scientific research into immersive artistic experiences. Christian, a composer and art theorist with a PhD in Musicology and Composition, is known for his innovative notation systems and his vast body of work, ranging from instrumental and electroacoustic compositions to scores for light ballets, video and performance.
Together, they collaborate at the intersection of Christian's visual and compositional practices and Francisca's ecological and artistic-scientific approach, creating performances and installations that promote new dialogues between human beings, technology and the natural world. They have collaborated on concerts at venues such as the Schwartzsche Villa, Kunsthaus KuLe, ACUD in Berlin, TONALi Saal in Hamburg and audiovisual performances at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and Oeiras Valley Science in Lisbon.
During this week-long artist residency at the Museu Zer0, we focused on the underwater ecologies of the Ria Formosa, exploring the districts of Faro, Tavira and Olhão, as well as Culatra Island. Through sound recordings and video documentation, conversations with local scientists, fishermen and NGOs active in the Ria Formosa, we understand the dynamics and experiences of the region. We learnt about the history of the Santa Catarina da Fonte do Bispo Olive Oil Producers' Agricultural Cooperative and the traces of its past activity through the equipment that remained as silent narrators. This residency will serve as the basis for a site-specific audiovisual work combining the ecological, social and historical narratives of the Ria Formosa.

The Museu Zer0 took part in the Summer Sessions artistic residency organised by V2_ in Rotterdam.
Summer Sessions are short-term international residencies in art and technology for emerging artists and designers. A network of cultural organisations around the world sponsor and host the residencies.
The Summer Sessions residency ran from 18 July to 15 September 2022 and the artist supported was David Bastos.
In 2019 and 2020, the Museu Zer0 partnered with the Centre for Art and Technology V2_ Lab for the Unstable Media in a joint residency programme to encourage art projects that respond to ecological challenges, challenging the use of media, ideas and messages that promote sustainable development.
The 1st and 2nd editions of this programme ran for a week at V2_ in Rotterdam and ended in Tavira with the production of four works by the selected artists.
American artist Gary Hill, considered one of the founders of video art, held an artistic residency in Tavira in 2018, where he prepared his work Linguistic Spill in the Boiler Hall, on show at Maat from 17 May to 17 September 2018.
