Benjamin Carrier is a generative artist and interaction designer originally from Montreal, Canada. In 2015, he moved to Nantes to pursue studies at L’École de design Nantes Atlantique, where he completed a bachelor’s degree in interaction design and later earned a master’s in design in 2019. His practice explores the collaboration between human and machine, questioning the role each plays in the creation of digital artworks. Using tools such as TouchDesigner, p5.js, Processing, and GLSL, he designs interactive installations and generative visuals that blur the boundaries between art and technology. His immersive, reactive works invite viewers to become active participants in the artistic experience.
In 2019, he co-founded Piko Studio, a creative practice specializing in interactive installations and generative visuals. Notable projects include Spectre, an interactive installation that explores invisible electromagnetic waves, and ECHO, a touchless screen that generates real-time visuals based on user proximity. He has also collaborated with organizations such as Lucion Média, Toboggan Design, Collectif 404, and Conserto. In parallel, Benjamin shares his expertise through workshops at L’École de design Nantes Atlantique and by publishing tutorials on platforms like YouTube and Skillshare, contributing to the broader dissemination of generative art practices.
