Data art, installations and talks, led by Dr. Kirell Benzi, data artist and AI researcher at EPFL.
Founder
Kirell Benzi Studio is founded and led by Dr. Kirell Benzi, award-winning data artist, TEDx speaker, and AI researcher at EPFL. His work sits at the intersection of art, science, and creative technology, with a practice built equally on visual ambition and technical depth.
History
The first pieces date back to 2013. From 2017 onward, the work developed into a professional practice spanning commissioned work, exhibitions, public installations, and research-driven systems.
Manifesto
The studio works with the latest web technology, realtime graphics, VFX, light and sound to create exceptional pieces for leading brands and institutions. The tools keep changing, and the age of AI widens the possibilities while shortening the time to deliver.
What makes a piece matter stays the same: a deep understanding of the material, and the emotion it leaves with people.
