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 softwares 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.
