> Laureline Chiapello is a researcher in video game design, specializing in understanding creative processes. She began her career in video game design with a French company, then emigrated to Montreal, where she obtained a D.E.S.S. in game design, a Master’s degree in design and complexity, and a Ph.D. in game design.
Using an approach derived from pragmatist philosophy, her research aims to better understand creative processes within videogame projects, as well as to improve the teaching of game design.

For this axis, digital creativity involves exploring the possibilities for developing and enriching the creative experience and facilitating the distribution of digital works. In this area, the Chair focuses on the animation and visual effects industries, video games and immersive experiences, to stimulate innovation, encourage artistic creation and foster the emergence of new forms of cultural expression.
The main objective of this axis is to identify crucial issues within the digital creative industries, particularly in the areas of effects (VFX), animation, video games and digital experience (Xn) sectors, in order to foster research, training and development in this sector.
