David Gauthier

Faculty
Country: Canada

David is a scientist. He is interested in computation and its realization, machines - in hybrid, human-centered forms. In recent years digital fabrication processes have fascinated him, specifically in applying them to Arts and Craft methods. Intrigued of mixing pattern-cutting techniques with Kalman filters, he aims to one day create a procedural tuxedo.

Gauthier worked in various institutions, notably the MIT Media Laboratory, the Banff New Media Institute and the Hexagram Institute for Research/Creation in Media Arts and Technologies. He holds a Master of Science degree in Media Arts and Science from the MIT and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics from the Université du Québec à Montréal.

His scientific research and collaborative artistic experiments have been published and exhibited internationally in conferences such as ICMC, SIGGRAPH, ISEA, ACE, CHI, and venues such as the Netherlands Media Art Institute (Amsterdam), Žižkov Television Tower (Prague), Museum of Science (Boston), Beall Center for Art and Technology (Irvine), and FOFA Gallery (Montréal).
