Benoît Labourdette production is a cultural engineering and creation agency founded and directed by Benoît Labourdette, filmmaker, educator, researcher and consultant in cultural innovation and digital strategies.

For thirty years, we have been designing, with local authorities, cultural institutions, schools, companies, social sector organisations and healthcare settings, participatory and digital art projects, consultancy and support, exhibitions, training courses, events, films and professional tools, as well as lectures and conferences, on subjects ranging from audiences and youth to artificial intelligence. The development of digital tools is at the heart of our practice, as an instrument of collective intelligence: tailor-made, sovereign and lasting applications that create bonds between people, equip cooperation and leave traces that become heritage. Cultural democracy is our goal: that everyone, starting with young people, can take part in creation, in speech and in cultural choices, down to our very working methods. Our singularity: projects are always led by an artist’s eye, supported by a serious knowledge of psychic dynamics — each participant’s personal journey is taken into account, and the quality of the bonds between people is held to be the source of the quality of the creation. Artistic practice, digital technology and collective intelligence serve as our common method. And every mission carries within it a shared research practice: at the heart of the project, we document, we analyse, we reflect together on what is being lived, and these traces remain with the teams and the participants, before becoming resources for others.

This website shares the agency’s offer, the accounts of our actions, the resources, methodological and intellectual, that come from this research, as well as a selection of Benoît Labourdette’s films and artistic creations.
