About the artist:
Philippe Moroux (Second Life avatar name: Artistide Despres) is a French artist teaching in the Netherlands. He has been interested in 3D and interaction since 1985 when he first experimented with early ray-tracers and 3D programs and began to learn how to write code. Philippe discovered the virtual world of Second Life in 2007, and has been working with the Caerleon Artist Collective (Virtual Art Initiative) since 2008. His work in virtual worlds explores social and political issues through subtle yet powerful imagery and sounds; he creates immersive and interactive installations through scripting and data manipulation. The resulting pieces convey a deeply felt point-of-view without being obvious or propagandistic. Philippe’s work has been exhibited in many venues throughout Second Life and other virtual worlds, as well as in real-life galleries in Holland and the United States. Last year, he discovered the possibilities of ANIMESH and begun to mix this technique with others processes like PATHFINDER, simulating autonomous behavior in his creations.
