Antoine Schmitt taught himself programming at the age of sixteen on the family computer and was fascinated by its metaphysical and experimental aspects.
He was first a programmer and project manager in the service company Act Informatique between 1985 and 1991, and specialized in the field of artificial intelligence and human-machine interactions.
He participated in the design and programming of the OPENSTEP environment and created the NSNotificationQueue class, which is still an integral part of Mac OS X to this day.
Since 1995 he has been an independent programmer in the fields of multimedia, human-machine interactions and connected objects, and works with many specialized companies (Hyptique, Virtools, BBC, Incandescence, violet, enero, Kingfisher, Intuis, etc...).
Using programming as an artistic material, he collaborates with many artists from other fields of art (Franck Vigroux, Atau Tanaka, Vincent Epplay, Jean-Jacques Birgé, Delphine Doukhan, K.Danse, Patrice Belin, Don Nino, Cubenx, Alberto Sorbelli, Matthew Bourne, Hortense Gauthier, etc.).
Since 2011, he has been the author with the musician Franck Vigroux of several audiovisual shows presented around the world (Tempest, Chronostasis, Cascades, ATOTAL,[9] Nacht, Videoscope).
