Etienne Bernardot is a hybrid and transdisciplinary artist, in search of new writing. He sees creation as a real means of exchange, which has led him, in recent years, to participate in numerous international projects.

Visual artist, from the VJ (video jockey) scene of the French techno underground of the late 90s, Etienne Bernardot co-founded in 2003, KSKF, an association bringing together artists from all disciplines. He experimented there for 8 years his practice of visual creation for dance, theater, and digital installations. He therefore developed an innovative approach, based on the digital links between music, video and light, which allowed him to reinvent his own interfaces for creating images.

2011 marks the beginning of a new artistic direction. Étienne Bernardot seeks to free himself from the "all-computer". He thus creates live video creation devices allowing him to physically manipulate different materials, sources of light or video projection captured by a camera and then broadcast on stage. The result is at once hypnotic, captivating and aesthetic.

In 2014, he co-founded the dance and digital art company ILIAEB. to continue his research on the relationship between the body and the digital, he looks for the possible analog interstices in digital creation. Thus, by back and forth between the digital sphere and the real sphere, the artist extracts the digital tool from his virtual environment and confronts it with the real.

In recent years, Etienne Bernardot has addressed themes related to social inequality, colonialism and ecology through multimedia installations combining videos, music, photographs or poems.
