Danny Perreault is a co-creator engaged in artistic projects at the crossroads of performing arts, digital technologies, and artificial intelligence. His recent works include Popmolle (Agora de la danse, Montréal, 2023), a choreographic performance where dancers, robots, lights, and materials interact, as well as Public Space, Latent Space (MUTEK, Montréal, 2025), an installation exploring co-creation with an artificial agent in the urban environment.
