Damien Serban is a digital artist. He enjoys “digitally torturing” his films, creating strange worlds where ink rubs shoulders with pixels, and matter seems to come alive in an autonomous way. He gravitates around dance, as in his first 3D animation film, Chrysalide (2005), about the Japanese dance Butoh, or in Silken (2008), with dancer Atsushi Takenouchi. He also worked for live performances, creating images that react in real-time with the movements of the dancers, their skin becoming part of an augmented projection screen (Sens Fiction and Introscope, 2013).
His films were programmed in numerous international festivals, and his works shown notably at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lille and at the Gaîté Lyrique, in Paris.
