BIOGRAPHY
VINCENT MOULINET
| born 1994, France

Vincent Moulinet is a real-time media artist and designer working with game engines, custom controllers and space. He plays with systems and toys as architectures of control where agency is reduced to its core essence and physical engagement dissolves both the surface of the screen and categories. His practice explores the conditions under which desire is produced, captured, and weaponized by the structures that shape contemporary life.

Born in 1994, he graduated in game design at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers of Paris in 2023. While curating the Octobre Numérique Faire Monde festival, he created ROT stands for Realm of Tears, which was later shown in Atlanta, Berlin, Kyoto, Geneva, Paris, and Bogotá. The project was featured in an episode of Tracks (Arte), directed by Nastasia Hadjadji, alongside the European Permajam he also organized, a game jam that brought together 150 participants in 8 European cities to create open-source and sustainable video games.
