Michael Berthaud (he/him) is a 23 year old multimedia artist born and raised in Boston Massachusetts. His introduction to the arts came in the form of designing games alone in his bedroom. When he began working in the game industry as a designer and engineer, he discovered the power of designing rules and its implications on human behavior. From collaborating with brands such as Rovio, to working in small indie studios, Michael has seen the ways in which games of all sizes can not only be profitable, but also culturally impactful. As he continued to gain experience in the art of game design, he began to loathe how contemporary games are trapped inside the confines of a home computer, console, or mobile phone. This created a new found synergy where he began to take the principles of game design and carry them into the public art space.
