ALAgrApHY (AL) is a Paris-based heptaglot artist (painter, photographer and filmmaker) and scientist — PhD in complex systems, expert in artificial intelligence and its applications to natural language processing, with a Postdoc at Sorbonne University / UPMC / CNRS. He is also an international Keynote Speaker with 3× TEDx talks on AI, Art, Humanity and Science.

ALAgrApHY builds drawing machines and teaches them using algorithms how to make art — and was among the first to use Artificial Intelligence to make Art. Using a model known as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), he generated in 2016 the Children of the Cloud: portraits of non-existing people of all origins, ages and genders, united in vast mosaics to paint humanity with all colors of diversity.

His artwork Dormant Muses (Muses Endormies) was the first AI-generated artwork using GANs to be sold in the world, during the prestigious Salon Comparaison at the Grand Palais on February 13, 2018 — well before AI art was commercialized. His AI-generated work Dames Souriantes won the Prix Art Digitale at the Salon d'Automne — the legendary salon that started Cubism and Fauvism.

Way before adopting digital art as his primary medium, AL painted with coffee, accumulating over a dozen exhibitions across the United States — the origin of his Coffeegraphy practice.

As a data scientist, AL has worked with several startups and institutions remapping the status quo of human–AI interaction — taming AI through NLP, LLMs and XR for creative and practical applications. His domains span fintech, regtech, immunology, bio-inspired computing, comparative literature, computer vision, and AI creativity. His company bitOΨ bridges art, science and technology.
