Instructor Biographies

Maxime Touroute

Maxime Touroute is a digital artist building experiences combining technology and interactivity, such as Let’s Draw, a massively participative video-mapping where hundreds of participants draw live on facades, or Painting Mirror, a video-mapping where the public is caricatured in real-time by Artificial Intelligences.

Maxime also assists artistic teams and cultural institutions as a software engineer, unlocking new creative potential on technically innovative projects with Augmented Reality, public participation and artificial Intelligence. Maxime shares his software and makes it available to the entire creative community to encourage collaboration and foster creative innovation.

His artistic and entrepreneurial approach has been rewarded by numerous international exhibitions and workshops, as well as by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, which awarded him two “Pépite” prizes in 2020 and 2022.
