His inter-media performances and artworks are shown at festivals and theaters throughout Europe, Asia, North and South America and Australia.
Many of his projects, such as D.A.V.E, APPARITION, LE SACRE DU PRINTEMPS, DANCING HOUSE or EGO, are considered groundbreaking and genre-defining for the development of new artistic forms of human interaction with digital systems.

He gives lectures and has been invited as a keynote speaker at many international festivals, conferences and institutions.
