藝術家羅賓˙拉普維特生於1990年的孚日，為多媒體創作家，創作討論語言遊戲、回收經濟、滑稽模仿（parody）、DIY、和遊戲等議題。藝術家從事數位修飾約有十五個年頭，數位修飾是後攝影浪潮下，透過視覺修飾，讓作品有圖畫感的一種實踐（it is part of this post-photographic wave that claims a retouche assumed, visible, bringing a pictorial gesture in practices）。就讀工程科學系期間，藝術家發現攝影這門領域，決定就讀洛林藝術學院埃皮納勒校區，並於2012年取得學位，隨後進入亞爾攝影藝術學院就讀，並在紐約國際攝影中心完成修業。Robin現居巴黎，在法國和世界各地（美國、荷蘭、日本、中國、西班牙、波蘭、俄羅斯）定期開展，也從事專業圖像編輯工作。他曾榮獲阿姆斯特丹Unseen新銳競賽觀眾獎。2017年夏天，Robin參與並替南非藝術家Roger Ballen執導影片。Robin是Galerie 2600 和Magasin de jouets Gallery兩家藝廊的藝術家，同時也是Club Late Music品牌的共同管理者，創作音樂、舉辦派對、更是名DJ。網路是他工作和生活所在。

創作論述Work Text
針對這次計畫，我將重點放在我在台灣找到的雕塑素材（包括建築、傳統藝術、製造品等）。我創造了四十分鐘動畫，用的是自己創造的逐幀技術、混合靜態畫面、讓形狀出現又消失；同時也加入一些我在台灣所見事物的靜止畫面和數位拼貼。
For this project, I focused on sculptural elements that I found in taiwan (including architecture, traditional art, manufactured objects ...).
I created a meditative 40mn animation, using a frame-by-frame technique i created, mixing stills pictures together, making thoses shapes appear and dissapear. I also created some stills pictures, digital collages of things i saw in Taiwan.
