Bio

Lukas Truniger is a visual artist, electronic composer and creative technologist, working with generative media in the broadest sense. He creates singular experiences challenging the modalities of perception, taking advantage of the mimetic nature of technology to reveal the materiality of our digital societies. His work pinpoints at unseen connections of natural, cultural and artificial system, further blurring their supposed division. He explores latent realities through emergent choreographies and systemic narratives, which can take the form of multimedia installations, speculative infrastructures, and audiovisual performances.

Born in Zürich (CH), he lives and works in Paris. He obtained a music degree from the Robert Schumann conservatory, Institute of Music and Media (IMM) in Düsseldorf (D) and a post gradual diploma in fine arts from Le Fresnoy – studio national des arts contemporains in Tourcoing (F).

His work has been shown internationally since 2016 at institutions such as the LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial (Gijón), HeK – House of Electronic Arts (Basel), West Kowloon Cultural District (Hong Kong), V2_ (Rotterdam), Ludwig Museum (Budapest), Pearl Art Museum (Shanghai), Fondation Vasarely (Aix-en-Provence), Harvestworks (New York City) and La Villette (Paris) as well as at various festivals:

Lost Art (Berlin), Sónar+D (Barcelona), Nuit Blanche (Paris), MMMAD Festival (Madrid), Athens Digital Arts Festival, Ars Electronica (Linz), Mapping Festival (Geneva), Burning Man (Nevada), Sonica (Glasgow), International Digital Arts Biennial / BIAN (Montreal) and International Symposium for Electronic Arts / ISEA (Paris and Hong Kong).

He was awarded with the Pax Art Award 2025 (Basel), Lumen Price 2024 (London), shortlisted for the Lumen Price 2026 ( Kristiansand) and Prix Cube 2016 (Paris).
