Miroir, miroir... Le travail de cet artiste est vraiment très impressionnant!
Mirror, mirror... The work of this artist is really impressive!

''Mechanical Mirrors:
The 4 mechanical mirrors are made of various materials but share the same behavior and interaction; any person standing in front of one of these pieces is instantly reflected on its surface. The mechanical mirrors all have video cameras, motors and computers on board and produce a soothing sound as the viewer interacts with them.

Vues du ciel...
Views from the sky...

''La production de Daniel Corbeil se caractérise par un croisement entre l’installation, la sculpture, la photographie et les maquettes, explorant la dimension factice que l’on retrouve, à un moment ou un autre, dans la pratique scientifique. Ludiques au premier regard, ses oeuvres construites à partir de matériaux recyclés sont pourtant investies de préoccupations environnementales bien réelles. Ses emprunts faits à la science, alliés à des mises en scènes fictives, mettent à l’épreuve nos « mécanismes perceptuels »1 et questionnent « nos modèles de connaissance et notre compréhension du monde »2.''

Simon Heijdens, Lightweeds

Simon Heijdens, Lightweeds

A living digital organism growing onto an indoor space, through which the space regains the natural timeline that it has walled out. Uniquely generated plant families that grow up, move and behave closely depending on actual sunshine, rainfall and wind as measured live outside. On passing human traffic they bend, loose their seeds and pollenate to other walls throughout the space, to make up a constantly evolving wallpaper that reveals the character of the space and it� use.

Simon Heijdens, Reed

A group of elements that overgrows objects and areas in a space providing both lighting and covering to make muted spots inside a room. The reeds translate outside nature to the indoor space, by slightly waving when a windgust passes the building, as measured by a windsensor that is connected to the reeds. The wind traveling through the reeds has a speed and intensity precisely depending on the force and direction of the windgusts that rise up and lay down throughout the day. The space becomes subtle in spring, intense in autumn - the space regains the natural character that it has walled out.

J'aime le travail de cet artiste de la lumière.
I like the work of this artist of the light.

Images urbaines fort intéressantes...
Extremely interesting urban images...

''My work is about the act of seeing. What the eye records and how the mind pieces it together. What’s remembered, what’s imagined. I try to adapt this to photography. I shoot subjects in fragments, from 10 to 100 overlapping puzzle pieces, then digitally reconstruct what the lens captured, refining and working the pieces and looking for the rhythm in how they fit together. What grows is an unique new narrative space that never actually happened, where the whole has traveled mysteriously further than what the camera documented. Part memory, part imagination. Not unlike the way we see.''

Attila Csorco





Attila Csorco, Platonic Love

''There are only five regular solids in the universe: tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron. The first known description of these solids is found in the writings of Plato, hence the name “Platonic solids”. They all have a “neat” structure: they can all be inscribed within a sphere, and in each solid, all planes, edges and vertices are of the same size. This unique regularity may have inspired Plato to attribute a cosmological significance to these solids: he associated four of the solids with the four elements, while, in his system, the fifth became the foundation of the world.''
