Born in 1968, Pascal Haudressy lives and works in Paris. After ten years working for Unesco as head of cultural projects and productions involving internationally renowned artists, Pascal Haudressy decides to dedicate himself completely to his personal artistic work. His first works date back to 2005. From the beginning, his sculptures, installations and videos have been characterized by their exceptional technicality and the use of advanced materials and technologies. The aesthetic character of the work clearly assumed by the artist is never assigned without a strong symbolic dimension and an existential problem about the future of man. Viruses, cloning, nanotechnologies, robotics, virtual reality: the mutations of the real and the plurality of experiences resulting from it constitute the nodal point of the reflection and innovative artistic practice of Pascal Haudressy.

A constant interest in broadening the meaning of composition, performance and the aesthetic musical experience, has made Triana's work encompass the technological developments he has encountered and freely appropriated elements from different artistic, scientific and philosophical disciplines. This is reflected in a hybrid musical production, difficult to classify, that takes shape in unconventional and varied formats, ranging from concert music, interactive installations, sound and light sculptures, to vibrating objects.
