Studied at ESAD Orléans (DNSEP Master II, visual communication, 2013), and member of the Sound and Art research group Art and sound creation at ENSA Bourges from 2016 to 2018, Quentin Aurat leads a multi-disciplinary work that convenes several forms of expression: videos, sound works, installations and performances.

"I explore and dissect transmission protocols, human media devices and the poetry of their artefacts. I question possible forms of interaction between art and technology, not limiting myself to a particular practice, nor to an accumulation of heterogeneous forms, but rather as the invention of a hybrid and singular discipline. In this research - which expresses the need to study situations, specific relationships between human factors and inert things - I put the senses of vision and hearing to the test. The strangeness of the forms produced, the resulting tension, an often radical approach to form, are important features of this process."

Freelance graphic designer, Quentin Aurat works mainly in the cultural and associative sectors. With the same requirement as for non-commissioned artistic work, the artist regularly elaborates web and print communication supports.

As a self-taught musician, Quentin Aurat’s practice focuses on improvisation and sound performance in the register of experimental, noises, electroacoustic music, as well as in musical genres derived from rock, jazz, and experimental electronic music. Since 2004, the artist has realized several sound pieces for live performance and has integrated several musical formations. To date, several solo and duet projects are underway.

Finally, Quentin Aurat designs electronic, digital and mechanical devices. With a solid technical background applied to the arts, and a strong taste for technical invention and 'tweaking', he occasionally works with other visual artists, musicians and students. He also runs workshops and meetings on interactivity, sound creation, radio, instrument making, image-sound relationship, and hacking.
