Yacine Sebti

The work and practice of Yacine Sebti (BE) explores the possible interactions between a body in space and computer generated images or sounds. This body can be the one of the spectator or the one of the performer.

Yacine produces his own installations but collaborates on a regular basis with different artists, e.g. experimental filmmaker Pascal Baes, musician-sculptor Frédéric Marbaix, or videomaker Tom Heene.

Both his personal and collaborative works have been shown widely: Viper (Basel), eArts (Shanghai), File (Porto Alegre, Rio de Janeiro), Seoul Media Arts Biennale, Vooruit (Ghent), Temps d’Images (Montréal).
