YANNICK JACQUET (Legoman) With a background in graphic design, I am now devoting myself to animated imagery, and more precisely to VJing and audiovisual installations. My inspiration comes from various artistic movements; from animation movies to web-design, from russian constructivism to music videos, from experimental cinema to graffiti, architecture and photography. In my VJ sets and in my audiovisual installations, I like to explore original techniques to leave the traditional projection on a 4x3 screen. For example, by using several projectors, other sizes of screens (square, very elongated, vertical etc.), 3-dimentional supports (buildings, statues etc.) or by playing with transparencies (screens made out of mosquito nets, tile, plastic etc.). I had the opportunity to present my work in Switzerland, France, USA, Belgium, South Korea, United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, Poland and Czech Republic at various events, parties, concerts, festivals and contemporary art exhibitions. I am forming a part of several audiovisual collectives in which I am very active on various projects : - Audioactivity : Geneva based collective since 2000. Electronic music party organizer and netlabel. I did my first VJ sets with them. - Créa Composite : Brussels based collective since 2006. We work on audiovisual installations. - AntiVJ : Audiovisual label with members from Paris, Brussels and Bristol since 2007. We work on audiovisual installations
