An interactive, holographic installation exploring the stories and collective imaginations of the Tehuelche community of Patagonia. Through AI, immersive technologies, and a collaborative process with the Tehuelches, this installation reflects on how AI is shaping our narratives and perceptions. It also creates new representations of the Tehuelches’ cosmovisions, bringing together the past, the present and imaginary futures of the community


The first prototype has been presented to the public at Lakeside Arts (UoN) in November 2024. Project in progress


In collaboration with Silvia Llanquetru and Sylvie Tissot

Wor(L)ds — words create worlds

Immersive spatial sound installation that explores a de-centered view of our anthropocentric experience of the natural world. Voices of local communities, the sounds of Natura 2000 forest sites, and the contributions of artificial intelligence all work to imagine a future beyond the Anthropocene. This project is an ever-evolving attempt at a human/non-human/more-than-human perception of the natural world  | 2022/2024

[Artistic collaboration with Sam Nester, musician and sound artist]

Interactive installation about the temporal experience that explores our relationship with the natural world, following the two-months art residency at the Perito Moreno glacier


By taking the Perito Moreno glacier as a symbol, the intention is to offer an experience far from contemplation. To design a fascinating environment, in a sensitive tension between landscape and territory, where everyone must negotiate their relationship with nature. To create a fragmented space that reassembles to form personal geographies, where the conversational image and the celebration of sharing renew the relationship to time and question the boundary between artists and amateurs. To set up a space with a temporal depth, which questions the digital as a territory.

Art residency at the Perito Moreno glacier around the temporal experience


Awarded of the Institut Français’ Hors les Murs residency programme in the digital and interactive arts category | Patagonia • Argentina | 2015


As a symbol of a double temporality, combining long-and short-term time in a natural ecosystem and massive scale, Perito Moreno holds within it several 21st-century
themes around fascination, friction, contradiction and collapse: disrupted frontiers, climate change, the slippage in the spatio-temporal relationship, the duality of real-life and dreamed territories, our relationship to reality in the digital era


A two-months residency to explore the perception of invisible and impalpable time; its sensitive dimension; the relationship of the map to the territory with experiments taking place both locally and on a global scale; planet as a theatre in real time and in 1:1 scale


Collaboration with physicists at the Balseiro Institute, Bariloche, Argentina

Portraits

Interactive installation proposing the experimentation of a new sensory approach


Settled in the two mk2 cinemas opposite each other on the Bassin de La Villette, this interactive installation allows the public of the cinemas to express and share the emotions the film they have just seen. It is through touch, using haptic telepresence technology, that spectators explore, communicate, exchange and show their perceptions,
impressions, states of mind, on the cinematographic experience they have just lived


Presented during Futur en Seine Festival, at the mk2 Quai de Loire & Quai de Seine cinemas | 2011


In collaboration with architect Valérie de La chapelle • Interaction programme: Sylvie Tissot • Development of the haptic telepresence platform: Wu Han & Mehdi Ammi • Light design: Françoise Diraison • Furniture design: Anna Farina

Variations on a code

Installation proposing the crossing of a space of perception. The work opens onto a sensitive world and invites the public to cross a space of perception made up of plural and ephemeral times, materialized by a flash of images projected on a curtain of fog. These images constitute urban landscapes photographed by Marina Wainer

A depth of illusion

d-box

Interactive journey along a succession of shop windows that  explores the daily lives of city dwellers and their relationship with the consumer society. The work showcases, by night, everyday places such as local shops, using windows as an interface. A virtual character greets passers-by, introducing them to the objects in the window and suggesting a variety of experiments, staging situations related to the memory of the objects on display


Commissionned and presented at the Nuit Blanche Paris in the Goutte d'Or district | 2006
