Yannick Jacquet
(*1980) lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. Originally trained as a graphic artist, he now devotes his time to developing a personal language using video and a wealth of projection techniques.
Yannick Jacquet's work is characterised by a desire to break out of the traditional formats of video-projection and finding ways to integrate video into the performance space. These ideas are developed and performed in the form of audiovisual performances, installations and scenography. Often being in-situ, his works are strongly influenced by questions linked to architecture.
Yannick Jacquet often collaborates with numerous artists, notably with those of the AntiVJ label, of which he’s a founding member.

With a background in graphic design and a passion for electronical music and digital melodies, he has been involved in VJing since the end of the year 2003. His inspiration sources come from various artistic movements; from animation movies to web design, from russian constructivism to music videos, from experimental cinema to graffiti.
He had the chance to be invited to perform as a VJ in various events (par- ties, concerts, festivals etc.) in Switzerland, France, Belgium, England, USA, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and Czech Republic. He was resident VJ at the club le Zoo of l’Usine in Geneva from November 2004 to February 2006. This concert hall allowed him to gain a very good experience of the techniques of projection. He still continues to perform there occasionally.
In parallel to his artistic activities within Crea Composite, he also works on graphic design and motion design commissions.
