Since 1978, Chevalier has focused exclusively on computers as an artistic means of expression. He
quickly secured a spot on the international scene as a pioneer of virtual and digital art. Miguel Chevalier
continues to be a trailblazer, and has proven himself to be one of the most significant artists on the
contemporary scene.
Miguel Chevalier’s oeuvre is experimental and multidisciplinary. Taking references from the history of art
and reformulating them using computer tools, his works investigate and explore recurrent themes such as
nature and artifice, flows and networks, virtual cities and ornate designs. His images are a rich source of
insights into ourselves and our relationship with the world.
Since the 1980s, Miguel Chevalier began tackling the question of the hybrid, generative and interactive
image. He has created many projects variously incorporating generative and interactive virtual reality
installations projected on large scale, shown on Leds screen or LCD screen, sculptures created with a 3D
printer or with laser cut, holographic imagery and other forms.
Miguel Chevalier has produced exhibitions and installations for museums, art centers, galleries and public
spaces around the world. He has been awarded a number of architecturally- based commissions.
Miguel Chevalier’s digital works are in constant metamorphosis, plunging us into a magical, poetic and
very contemporary universe.
