Mathilde Reynaud

#interview | 🎥 Rencontre avec l’artiste Mathilde Reynaud, en résidence EXTRA à Bruxelles et Arles pour son projet de jeu vidéo expérimental ! 🦋Durant cette résidence, l’artiste y explore le bug comme espace poétique, depuis le célèbre papillon du Mark II jusqu’à Grace Hopper, et imagine un jeu où joueurs et joueuses tissent ensemble des fragments de récits, inspirés du “Fiction-Panier” d’Ursula Le Guin. Un aller-retour précieux entre recherche technique (games.brussels) et réflexion artistique (Octobre Numérique – Faire Monde). Le programme EXTRA, lancé par l’ambassade de France en Belgique avec le soutien de l’Institut français, soutient chaque année la création contemporaine française en Belgique. 👉 Vidéo complète ci-dessus !

Een waardevolle heen- en weerreis tussen technische research (games.brussels) en artistieke reflectie (Octobre Numérique – Faire Monde). Het EXTRA-programma, gelanceerd door de Franse ambassade in België met de steun van het Institut français, steunt elk jaar de hedendaagse Franse creatie in België. 👉 Volledige video hierboven!

CYFEST Midpoint Video Screening: Sensory/Nuances October 17, 7:30 PM ⤑ @cinemahouse.evn 18/1 Vardanants St., entrance from Aram St., 3rd floor The program opens with Sergei Parajanov’s early masterpiece Hakob Hovnatanyan — a cinematic painting that set the tone for his “static cinema.” From this historical touchpoint, contemporary artists expand the field of sensory experience exploring perception, technology, and the body by Mathilde Reynaud (@mathilde.reynaud ), Amy Karle @artist_amy_karle ), Alessandro Zannier (@alessandrozannier ), Ethel Lilienfeld (@ethellilienfeld ), Louis-Paul Caron (@louispaulcaron ), and Yulia Sharkina (@yuliasharkina.space ). Curated by Victoria Ilyushkina Come for the films, stay for the welcome drinks, a short presentation, and an open chat after the screening. ✵ Full program by link in bio

#résidencesEXTRA | Artiste numérique et multimédia, Mathilde Reynaud vit et travaille à Saint-Étienne (Loire, France). Diplômée de l’École supérieure d’Art et Design de Saint-Étienne 🎓, elle a étudié en Corée du Sud avant d’intégrer l’ENSBA Lyon puis Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains. Elle développe une pratique ancrée dans l’image de synthèse 3D, qu’elle mobilise pour construire des récits féministes et sensoriels en lien avec les mondes virtuels 🌐. Ses installations et jeux vidéo explorent les croisements entre réel et virtuel, vivants et technologies, à travers des dispositifs immersifs nourris de science-fiction et de fabulations spéculatives. Son travail a été présenté en France, au Sénégal, en Lettonie et en Corée du Sud. En 2025, elle rejoint la résidence croisée EXTRA à games.brussels et Octobre Numérique pour expérimenter de nouvelles formes narratives et immersives dans le champ du jeu vidéo 🎮. NL// #EXTRAresidenties | Digitale en multimediakunstenaar Mathilde Reynaud woont en werkt in Saint-Étienne (Loire, Frankrijk). Ze is afgestudeerd aan de École supérieure d’Art et Design van Saint-Étienne 🎓, en studeerde in Zuid-Korea voordat ze zich aansloot bij de ENSBA Lyon en vervolgens bij Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains. Ze ontwikkelt een artistieke praktijk die geworteld is in 3D-computerbeelden, waarmee ze feministische en zintuiglijke verhalen opbouwt die verbonden zijn met virtuele werelden 🌐. Haar installaties en videospellen verkennen de kruisingen tussen het reële en het virtuele, het levende en technologie, via immersieve ervaringen die gevoed worden door sciencefiction en speculatieve fictie. Haar werk werd tentoongesteld in Frankrijk, Senegal, Letland en Zuid-Korea. In 2025 neemt ze deel aan de uitwisselingsresidentie EXTRA bij games.brussels en Octobre Numérique om nieuwe narratieve en immersieve vormen binnen het domein van videogames te verkennen 🎮.

Ce qu’il reste à la nuit, Installation In Ce qu’il reste à la nuit, various elements interact together, much like in an ecosystem, to create a narrative that challenges a colonial and expansionist approach to space exploration, as well as the science fiction imagination traditionally associated with it. In the film, two scientists study exoplanets using optical interferometry, an astrophysical observation technique that combines light captured by multiple telescopes to form a high-resolution image. They reflect on their fascination and nostalgia for the celestial bodies they study, questioning the memory of these places —never experienced— and their own way of approaching the future. Cosmic particles, originating from deep space, are detected in real time within the exhibition space using a low-tech sensor, revealing an alternative perspective of space through Earth. This leads the scientists to direct their gaze toward their own environment. In parallel, a terrestrial landscape within a 3D environment reacts in real time to the passage of these particles, emitting a fleeting glow, creating a porous interplay between the fictional space and the real world.
