Baptiste Tavernier │ All About Me

My artistic journey began in music, but a pivotal experience with tinnitus redirected my creative focus to the visual arts. This shift was an evolution, igniting a deeper exploration into the fusion of technology, imagination, and accessibility.

Now, through modular and interactive art, I create immersive experiences like Kura Curiosa, a dynamic collection where audiences engage directly, shaping their own meta-artwork. Each piece invites exploration across new dimensions, bridging human insight with machine precision and transforming art into a collaborative, exciting journey.

Me in a Nutshell

Born in France.
Resides in Tokyo.
Combines art, 3D printing technologies, and vinyl wrapping to craft surreal and innovative visions.
Explores the theme of passages, opening new dimensions in art.
Teaches Japanese weapon-based martial arts as a hobby.
