Benjamin Bardou

Benjamin Bardou (b. 1981) is a French artist whose work explores the intersection of memory, the city, and digital technologies.

Trained in visual arts and with a background in visual effects, he has developed a unique body of work at the crossroads of cinema, painting, and artificial intelligence. Through projects such as Megalopolis, Memories of an Exhibition, and The Flow, he examines the persistence of images in human consciousness and the layers of memory embedded in urban spaces. Utilizing techniques such as point clouds, volumetric video, and AI-generated imagery, Bardou composes immersive fictions that unfold like waking dreams.

He has collaborated with artists such as Ridley Scott, Liam Wong, and Ikumi Nakamura, and worked with companies including Apple, Meta, and Microsoft. His works have been exhibited in museums, galleries, and festivals both in France and internationally.
