Étienne Rey is a Marseille-based visual artist with 19 years creating interdisciplinary installations that fuse visual arts, architecture, physical sciences and neuroscience to make perceptual experiences of light, waves and fluidity. His site-specific works and permanent commissions use experimental optical and sensory devices to reveal invisible structures of space-time and stage nuanced coexisting perceptions that actively engage viewers. Trained in fine arts with post-diploma studies in architecture at Aix-Marseille Université, he combines rigorous material research with spatial and scientific inquiry. Beyond the art world he contributes to technical open-source projects—bringing iOS and Python compatibility fixes to well-known repositories like ownCloud’s iOS client and moviepy—demonstrating an uncommon fluency across creative and computational practices. This blend of art, hands-on experimental fabrication and software problem-solving lets him prototype immersive systems that are as technically robust as they are poetically compelling.
