Camille Laurelli

Camille Laurelli (b. 1981) is a French-Estonian intermedia artist and visiting lecturer at the Estonian Academy of Arts. His academic practice bridges digital preservation, experimental curation, and the study of artistic failure as methodology. Key affiliations include founding LVLup! Video Game Museum and co-establishing artist-run spaces like Contemporary Art Center Oui in Grenoble.

Research interests focus on:

• Recycling digital matter ('digital composting')
• Video game history as cultural heritage
• Anachronistic plagiarism concepts
• Intermedia art combining video, performance, and installation
• Self-run artistic ecosystems

He holds a PhD from Annecy Higher Art School (2015) and an MA from Grenoble Higher Art School (2005). His museum work preserves Eastern European gaming history, particularly Soviet-era consoles like the Dendy clone system. Collaborative projects emphasize humor and institutional critique.
