Fascinated by the use of information technologies since 1993 I started in telematics for local participation in the rapidly growing web, first in associations and private, and finally in the local government.

In charge of ICT for the city of Rennes I successively displyed websites, extranets and multimedia power of information before developing numerous experiments related to the concept of augmented territory with a target of services to residents.

Since 2004 I have been working on the experiments on information monitoring with people, e-government and city policy, in conjunction with many networks (Internet Cities, Apronet, cyberterritoire group, Avicca, DIACT, Fing ...).

I could carry out many experiments of Practice for the Rennes territory : Rennes live CD Rom, online 3D model of the city and 1,400 organisms, Internet equipment with pilot group of disabled moblog citizens LBS, mobile information systems using RSS feeds vocalized through bluetooth, and so on... (kinect+ 3D prototypes, sensors + urbanism prototypes, mobile geolocalized systems...). I also launched the first opendata process in France with the city of Rennes.

Personally I am convinced of the importance to overcome the opposition between "real" and "virtual". I am also convinced that liberty equality and fraternity require input of energy to exist, the risk of decline. The concept of common good, such as capacity for self-organization.

I am co-founder of the French language library of the metaverse and the Metalab3D of cyberterritoires (with Loic Hay), and the Bzhlab wiki.

As a professional, I am co-founder of Public Meetings Net Breton, of Brittany Summers ICT, and the National Conference of Public Communication and new technologies, and the Labfab (fablab) of Rennes. I gave about 150 conferences about territories, digital and innovation in the past 10 years (including LIFT).

Interests: mixed reality, communication, social networks, relations, continuum, cities, metalab, innovation, prototypes
