Summary
Benjamin Gaulon is a Paris-based artist, researcher and educator whose practice spans software, hardware and street interventions, exploring the social and environmental impacts of information and communication technologies. With over two decades of work, he co-founded the NØ collective and leads NØ SCHOOL NEVERS, driving research at the intersection of détournement, hacking, recycling and open-source approaches.

His projects, often open source, include soft- and hardware installations, web-based works and interactive interventions that critique consumerism and planned obsolescence. He has held leadership roles such as Director of NØ Org and Group CEO of IoDT, and previously led Hacklab initiatives and curatorial programs across Europe, reflecting a rare blend of creative practice, research administration and pedagogy. Based in Paris, his work challenges audiences to reconsider the lifecycle of technology and its societal footprint.
