Cette réflexion a été rédigée à l’issue de mon stage effectué à Iregular (Montréal) de Juin à Septembre 2016. Il s’agit d’une tentative de questionnement autour de la place des algorithmes et de leurs enjeux dans la pratique actuelle du designer graphique.
La production décomplexée, centrée sur l’usage de langages de programmation est ancrée dans le processus de création du studio Iregular et induit une pratique profondément transformée. Il s’agit alors d’étudier la relation ainsi que l’influence du code, et surtout des algorithmes, dans la réflexion, la conception, mais également dans l’esthétique et l’identité du travail du designer.
Comment les algorithmes issus des langages de programmation peuvent-il générer de nouveaux enjeux dans la pratique actuelle du designer graphique ? …

Ok, I am a little bit lying, things were not that easy — especially when my Airbnb host canceled my reservation four hours before I took my plane — but it is another story.

It might be a little bit cheesy but it is how I work, and I have finally accepted that. I would not say that I am not independent — I am always excited to discover new countries or cities, to live new experiences by myself — it is just hard for me to leave people I care about because they are a real part of my comfort zone. …
