François Lespinasse, a transdisciplinary artist based in Montréal, integrates his expertise in neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI) into his creative practice. He crafts human-computer interfaces (HCI) that blend procedurally generated musical, visual, and textual compositions, pushing the boundaries of AI-driven creativity. His artistic endeavors are deeply informed by his research into the somatic states underpinning emotions and intersubjectivity. By incorporating biosignals into his work, he creates immersive experiences that explore the convergence of brain-body dynamics and phenomenology, offering a rich sensory symphony of visual, auditory, poetic, and tactile stimuli.
Lespinasse develops immersive interfaces that weave intricate narratives of consciousness, offering retrospectives on its evolution as a cultural construct and forecasting potential transhumanistic progressions. These artistic explorations serve as a medium for communicating complex ideas about the interplay between technology and consciousness, inviting audiences to engage with these concepts on a visceral and experiential level.
His commitment to open-source learning and collaboration extends to his artistic practice, as he shares his creative processes and insights through his Github portfolio, fostering a community of artists and researchers working at the intersection of art, science, and technology.
