He is connected to technical experimentation in the artistic field and to the extension of the existing potentialities in the relation man-machine. In his works the new technologies such as Projection mapping, kinect, motion capture and robotics, mix up in interactive installations and experimental performances; he is the one who invented the so called virtual music instruments, able to create an interface for the communication between human movements and the computer, where sound and video image are controlled by virtual music instruments in real-time through computers. He was also a researcher and invited composer at IRCAM. He is currently assistant professor at Bordeaux Art University.

It's a visual and sound montage which includes the textes of Mille Plateaux of Deleuze and Guattari and the radio piece of Antonin Artaud : Pour en finir avec le jugement de Dieu.The video image shows real and 3D virtual bodies but the body of the performer is present and can transform its images in real time.
 * Augmented Body and Virtual Body：The performance involves robots which play musical instruments, in this the danser will where the robotic suit which will control the robots music performance though the dances mouvements.
 * netBody : This performance is realized linking the real world to the online reality of Second Life. The movements of a danser in the real world control an avatar in Second Life, while an avatar’s movements guide a danser’s.
 * L'homme transcende
 * Cymatics
 * Duali：Using the controllers of gestures, Wifi and programming which make sounds in real time, this performance is made up of images, dance and music. This is also based upon the concepts of Dualism like man – machine or Asia and Europe.
