Chevalier experienced the shift from analog to digital media first-hand, his artistic practice growing alongside it in a way where it was closely intertwined with new developments in the industry. He says, “In the late 1990s and in the early years of the new millennium, a new era opened with the sudden appearance of the first graphic cards capable of calculating thousands of polygons for video games, allowing an immersion in a 3D world in real time. So, I developed with the help of specialists my first generative artworks such as the digital gardens Sur-Natures”. Similarly, micro-computing, the sophistication of projectors and the recent invention of 3-D printing have enabled Chevalier to bring his visionary ideas into reality we can all experience.
