Graduated from the Geneva University of Art and Design, Tanguy BENOIT is a transdisciplinary artist concerned with the political meaning attributed to landscape in popular media. By examining the methods used to represent territory in entertainment, he points out contemporary issues related to the concepts of border and otherness. He focuses his research on certain communication media, real or fictive, as well as on the social practices, cultural productions and common imaginaries that surround them. Tanguy BENOIT’s reflections infiltrate other disciplines such as cinema, video games, design and media studies.

His projects consist of installations composed of dioramas, optical instruments, video games, digital simulations, short films, sound elements and photographic views. By combining these productions, he creates transmedia narratives that reveal the ambiguities involved in the diffusion mechanisms of conventional history.

In parallel to his research, Tanguy BENOIT is involved occasionally in the master’s degree in Space and Communication at the HEAD – Geneva.
