Antoine Bertin
Resident in 2025
Antoine Bertin completed a degree in Physics at Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris in 2005, and three years later graduated from ENSLL (École Nationale Supérieure Louis Lumière – Sound department). He later did his Master’s in Sound Arts from the London College of Communication. In 2024, he joined the "Interfacing the Ocean" group at ZHDK University for a PhD project focused on communication between underwater species and humans.
His work has been presented at Tate Britain, Palais de Tokyo, the Serpentine Gallery, the Kielder Forest art park, the KIKK Festival, CCCB in Barcelona, Dutch Design Week, Le Centquatre (104), and in collaborations with Google Arts & Culture and the Centre Pompidou. Since 2015, he has produced a quarterly radio show titled "Edge of The Forest" on NTS Radio, combining field recordings, data sonification, and science-inspired meditations. He received the ACT Award in 2020 and the Sferik Art in Nature Prize in 2023.
Studio Antoine Bertin is based in Paris, France, and on the island of Alicudi in Italy, working across Europe and internationally.
During his time in Auckland, Antoine will work on a project aimed at developing relationships between aquatic and human species through underwater research and creative practice.
In collaboration with the Data Science department at AUT and Dr. Lorenzo Garcia (biomechanical engineering and medical technology | AUT), they will design prototypes for acoustic communication interfaces, proposed conversations with underwater species, intended to imagine future sustainable relationships with the ocean.
