transmutation(s)

The installation is a circular object towering above the viewer, floating in weightlessness, textured like stone. In the center of the circle is a living digital substance — a simulation of the possible movement of a stone inside itself. In it, various grimaces burst out in an unfinished scream. The graphics and the sound are interconnected in a generative movement: it has no end and no beginning, acting according to machine code, showing a new image and making a new sound each time, never repeated.

Thus, the installation is a kind of life — an intellect that has some connection with “the human”, yet mutates this concept, becoming something other. This strong emotional call emphasizes the despair of the status quo. Through it, we get in touch with transmutations: the possibility of joint action, of unity, of hearing and being heard. It is a capture of the moment, a cry of despair — and a call for the unity of the moving and the petrified, a call to consider the relationship between the two. In it, one can hear the grief and desperate hope for forthcoming critical changes at the root of the political and aesthetic optics of the public eye.
