Just to mention some of them: the ''Navigation Room'' (1997) and ''the Membrane'' (2001) for the Cité des Sciences de la Villette, the Panoramic Tables for the Planet of Visions Pavilion for Hanover EXPO2000, the Multimedia Tour for the Abbaye de Fontevraud. Maurice Benayoun conceived and directed the exhibition ''Cosmopolis, Overwriting the City'', a giant art and science immersive installation, presented in the frame of the French Year in China and he is working now on the permanent exhibition of the Arc de Triomphe, Paris.
Since 1984, Maurice Benayoun has been teaching video and media art at the Université de Paris 1 (Panthéon-Sorbonne) and invited artist at the Ecole Nationale

*''Crossing Talks, Communication Rafting'': a virtual reality/Internet CAVE installation created for the Tokyo ICC Biennale '99. The visitor tries to survive in an infinite no-communication universe.
Open Media, in 2000, considered his works as a form of ''Open Media Art'', paraphrasing [[Jon Ippolito]], not limited to the traditional forms, media and economic schemes of art, but also not necessarily based on a specific medium, digital or using technologies. Open takes here the sense of freedom in the means of expression.<ref>Timothy Murray, [[Derrick de Kerckhove]], [[Oliver Grau]], [[Kristine Stiles]], Jean-Baptiste Barrière, [[Dominique Moulon]], Jean-Pierre Balpe, ''Maurice Benayoun Open Art'', Nouvelles éditions Scala, 2011, French version, {{ISBN|978-2-35988-046-5}}</ref>


Infra-realism – (Infra-realisme in French, could be interpreted as 'sub-realism') was coined in the early 90s to describe the specificity of the new form of realism emerging from 3D computer graphics. During the production of [[Quarxs]] (1989–1993), the author, Benayoun wanted to identify the difference between visual realism based on the transcription of how the world reflects light, and what he called Infra-realism, or "realism of the depth" or "the deep realism behind the surface".<ref>Madsen, Kim H., Qvortrup, Lars.

More than eight hundred thousand visitors came to the science museum to experience the Navigation Room.

*''Hypercube''In the field of navigation interfaces, Maurice Benayoun conceived the 3D interface ''Hypercube'' (US and EU patent). Hypercube's success and appeal with the public was reported on at length in the national papers Liberation and Le Monde. Importantly, hypercube is the interface masking a powerful non-declarative intelligent profiling system.

*The ''Z-A Profiler'' has proven so effective, that both Hypercube and Profiler have since evolved the following directions:

*''HyperTV'', an EPG (Electronic Program Guide)

*''The Travel Tunnel'', developed by Z-A at the request of France Telecom
and the ''Lux Tunnel'' a virtual 'lêche vitrine' guided by your desires...created for the subway station project; ''Franklin D Roosevelt'' see further on.

*''The Blue Station''
Conceived in collaboration with the French architect Jean Nouvel, Maurice Benayoun won in 2001 the competition to create Paris's first interactive subway station in the heart of Paris. Funded by the RATP (Parisian Transport Company) this unique project was meant to be a subway station dedicated to creation. Interactive, sound lighting and up 200 plasma screens should allow the public as well as artists to interact.
In 2006, Maurice Benayoun together with the architect Christophe Girault won the competition for the new permanent exhibition in the Arc de Triomphe, Paris, opening in spring 2007.

Maurice Benayoun (aka MoBen or 莫奔) (born 29 March 1957) is a French new-media artist, curator, and theorist based in Paris and Hong Kong.[1]

His work employs various media, including video, computer graphics, immersive virtual reality, the Internet, performance, EEG, 3D Printing, large-scale urban media art, robotics, NFTs, and Blockchain based artworks, installations and interactive exhibitions.

Early life

[edit]

He was born in Mascara, Algeria, in March 1957, as a war orphan. His father was killed before his birth in the Algerian independence war. He moved to France in 1958, following his mother and his brother, to live in popular suburbs in north Paris where the family stayed during most of his childhood.

Education

[edit]

Bennayoun's doctorate thesis at the Sorbonne, Artistic Intentions at Work, Hypothesis for Committing Art, was published in 2011.[2]

Career

[edit]
World Skin (1997), Maurice Benayoun's Virtual Reality Interactive Installation

Benayoun taught in contemporary and fine arts at Pantheon-Sorbonne University. In 1987 he co-founded Z-A Production (1987–2003), a computer graphics and virtual reality private lab.[citation needed]

Between 1990 and 1993, Benayoun collaborated with Belgian graphic novelists François Schuiten and philosopher Benoît Peeters on Quarxs, the first animation series made of HD computer graphics, exploring variant creatures with alternate physical laws.[3]

For his first solo show, Benayoun presented a virtual reality installation linking two art museums: the Pompidou Center in Paris and the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal.[4] Benayoun conceived and directed the exhibition Cosmopolis, Overwriting the City (2005), an art and science immersive installation presented during the French Year in China in Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, and Chongqing. This was Maurice Benayoun's first experience in China, and the reception by the public played an important role in later Benayoun's move to Asia.[5]

Key concepts

[edit]

Open Media, in 2000, considered his works as a form of Open Media Art, paraphrasing Jon Ippolito, not limited to the traditional forms, media and economic schemes of art, but also not necessarily based on a specific medium, digital or using technologies. Open takes here the sense of freedom in the means of expression.[6]

Infra-realism – (Infra-realisme in French, could be interpreted as 'sub-realism') was coined in the early 90s to describe the specificity of the new form of realism emerging from 3D computer graphics. During the production of Quarxs (1989–1993), the author, Benayoun wanted to identify the difference between visual realism based on the transcription of how the world reflects light, and what he called Infra-realism, or "realism of the depth" or "the deep realism behind the surface".[7]
