Abstract

In his presentation, Jules de Balincourt takes an autobiographical approach to his own personal trajectory, his sources of inspiration and his career path. Recurring themes include globalization, utopian communities, migration, metaphysics, displacement, his personal immigration from France to America and his experience as a perpetual tourist.

He will discuss such things as working intuitively, on a more subconscious level, and the idea of the artist as a kind of cultural filter who processes and experiences 21st-century culture and media, and translates this into a visual vernacular.
