Guillaumit is an artistic director based in France. His work combines geometric shapes, rigid colours and peculiar cartoon characters. The result is a playful yet meaningful universe. Being the artistic director of Bordeaux's Carnival, he developed an augmented reality app which allowed us to interact with 3D animations on costumes and posters, all part of his work. This work is in collaboration with Les Plasticiens Volants.https://guillaumit.tumblr.com/http://www.plasticiensvolants.com/
