John Paul Bichard

Artist

John Paul Bichard is an artist who has been experimenting with installations, media and digital games since the early 1990s. Bichard’s works explore the boundaries between ‘protected real space’ – such as the police evidence space – or the ‘protected European home’ – and the ‘digital made real’, where the space of games is re-constructed as a real environment. He has worked on numerous high-profile research projects, and between 1995 and 2001 he worked as a videogame editor for Mute magazine. He currently works as creative director on numerous high-profile video game research projects. He has also co-directed Art Productions at the Interactive Institute in Stockholm, Sweden.
