About

I am Jérôme Mercier

I'm crafting designs with code.

My projects, often expressed through mesmerizing animations, powered by code and algorithms, seek to visually interpret and question the fluid nature and existential implications of time.

Bio

From Psychology to Digital Mastery

Before delving into the digital world, I pursued an academic path deeply rooted in understanding human behavior and cognition. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, followed by a Master’s degree in Cognitive Sciences, where I explored the intersection of the mind and technology. This foundation has profoundly influenced my approach to generative art and design, providing me with a unique perspective on creativity. It has also deepened my understanding of how artificial intelligence operates today.

I began my journey as a web designer in 1999, finding creative fulfillment later with ActionScript, where I developed unique and interactive websites that pushed the boundaries of digital design.

From 1999 to 2008...

...I worked as a webmaster for various companies, including Casino Entreprises. Transitioning to freelance work, I collaborated with clients such as CLEAR CHANNEL, MICHELIN and EURO RSCG, creating tailored website designs and digital solutions until 2012.

2008 - 2015

Between 2008 and 2015, I dedicated my efforts to developing a SaaS-based enterprise social network, further expanding my expertise in web-based technologies and collaborative platforms.

Since 2015...

...I have embraced JavaScript as a medium to create compelling visual content. This shift allowed me to explore the intersection of code and art more deeply, culminating in works that bridge the digital and the creative.

Between 2020 and 2021...

...I showcased my creations at several digital festivals, focusing on particle-based animations that responded dynamically to soundscapes, blending technology and ambiance in innovative ways.

In 2020-2021...

...I joined the burgeoning NFT movement on the Web3 platform Hic Et Nunc. This venture provided international visibility for my work, introducing my generative art to collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.

And now

This experience also fueled my passion for teaching. Today, I dedicate over 500 hours per year to teaching generative design in leading design schools across France, sharing my knowledge and inspiring the next generation of creative coders.
