Instructors biographies
Adrien Boulanger (FR)
After engineer studies at the CFMS in Lausanne, he joined the Zoo association (Usine/Geneva) in 2007 as a sound technician. Soon attracted to VJing and scenography, he served as head of technics and video of the Geneva club from 2010 to 2012 and joined the staff of the Mapping in 2011 and Electron in 2012 as technical director.

Rochel Mancip (aka VJ Zero) (FR)
Nerd and cannibal visual artist, loves chasing the dragon in the company of hypochondriac garden gnomes. Great guru of the “beer on your keyboard” sect. Motion design, VJing, videomapping, stagedesign, interactivity… Since almost 10 years, Zero explores all forms of digital creations in connection with the live image. Through unique and polymorphic installations, his performances plunge the viewer in a unique visual universe, hypnotic, minimalistic or frenetic, always in symbiosis with the music. One of the most active artists on the international scene.

Pierre Turlotte (FR)
Professional designer and electronic music lover, Pierre integrated the WSK collective in late 2008 as a VJ. Over years of different experiences, he specializes himself in video scenography creation. He explores materials and forms through a creative approach that aims to find the most efficient projection aids that are adapted to the constraints of VJing and scenes.
