Grégory Chatonsky, French-Canadian artist and pioneer of Netart and AI, founded Incident.net in 1994. Exploring digital materiality, he became interested in digital ruins and flows in the 2000s, and AI in 2009. Invited to the ENS Ulm, he holds a seminar on artificial imagination. His work, mixing digital and traditional media, questions the relationship between technologies and existence, creating a fiction without narrative through language, body, city, network and memory. Exhibited internationally, his work is included in numerous collections.

French-Canadian artist Gregory Chatonsky is a leading figure in the fields of Netart and AI. Since 1994, with the founding of Incident.net, he has been at the forefront of digital art, exploring the possibilities offered by the Internet and new technologies. His work is characterized by a reflection on digital materiality, which he began to question in the 2000s, focusing on notions of ruin and flux, anticipating contemporary concerns around Big Data and the digital footprint.

From 2009 onwards, he intensified his exploration of AI, a field that has become central to his work. His interest in this technology led him to organize a seminar at the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) Ulm, dedicated to artificial imagination, to which he contributed as an artist-researcher. 

Chatonsky's work is an immersion in the ambiguous and often complex relationships between technologies and human existence. Through the use of a wide range of media, both digital (interactive installations, websites) and traditional (painting, sculpture), he creates a universe where different elements such as language, the body, the city, extinction, the network, landscape and memory, intersect to weave a fiction without narrative. 

Chatonsky's exhibitions at the Palais de Tokyo, the Centre Pompidou, the MOCA in Taipei, the Museum of Moving Image in New York, the Hubei Wuhan Museum and many other prestigious venues around the world testify to the international recognition of his work. His creations are part of major private and public collections, including the Centre National des Arts Plastiques (CNAP), the Fondation des Arts Contemporains (FAC), the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BNF), the Hubei Museum in China, and the Musée Granet in France, underlining the importance and impact of his work on the contemporary artistic landscape.
