[5] He was a Professor in the Intermedia Department, Mills College, Oakland, California from 2003 to 2004, then in the School of Visual and Media Arts, University of Quebec in Montreal (2006-2008).
He has made recordings, written works, installations and performances across Canada, in the USA and in Europe, in "festivals, conferences, and in the street".

He himself proposed a minimum of fifty-four senses, in which, for example, there would be different designations for the touching of cold surfaces, texture, pressure, and so on.
Paul replied that he understood the idea, but that it dated from after the Middle Ages and was more rooted in the nineteenth century than in the twentieth, and that, in his view, the number of senses today should be "one".
[3] For instance, in The Invention of Animals (2001), he digitally disrupts the straight trajectory of an airplane in flight, causing the plane to appear to flit like a butterfly.
Robert has had solo exhibitions, beginning with one at Laval University in 1987, mostly in alternate spaces in Canada and abroad.
[9] He has participated in many group shows from 1992 on in Canada and abroad, notably at Transmediale.02, the International Media Art Festival Berlin, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin (2002) and at the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (2004, 2008, 2008-2009).
