Joris Bacquet

Joris Bacquet directs films and makes images with AI: bodies run through oscilloscopes, a Renaissance joker recut as sportswear, an Icarus who no longer dreams. He has worked with Issey Miyake and Dior, and made the first music video to use AI narratively.

Bacquet comes from film direction and treats AI as one more camera: a tool for visual research and experiment, not a subject in itself. The question underneath the work stays constant: what technology does to human nature, asked from very close range.

ANNA LOG

The series began by running AI against older, analog machines: oscilloscope variations distorting the body. The point is historical rather than nostalgic: technology has been part of daily life since the seventies, and bending reality with it is nothing new. Only the look of the interference changes; the process never has.

JOKER

A Renaissance joker's costume, made contemporary by pulling it into the look and feel of sportswear and fashion.

WE FLY HIGH

Named after the Jim Jones track: a fast, loud fashion series: strong looks cut with sportswear codes.

DEDALE

His latest film updates a mythological fable into a dark, cinematic world where God is a sun and Icarus doesn't dream anymore.

Alongside his own series, Bacquet has collaborated with Issey Miyake and Dior, and with the artist Azelphara made « INFINITY »: the first music video to use AI narratively, recognised at the Berlin Commercial awards. It asks his standing question outright: what does 'creator' mean now?
