Taking a look at the positioning of the body in relation to the screen, l’ordinateur takes the form of an exploded personal workstation in front of which are placed armchairs with humanoid curves. Through the abundance of cabling in this out-of-this-world computer, two displays of flexible LED modules are supported by an array of tubes reminiscent of both gaming modules and medical equipment. These stations, forming a network occupying the entire room, are connected to cushioned computer components floating in a cubic structure. The bursting of the network in space, the curved shape given to the two screens and the properties specific to the type of screen used underline the materiality of the digital, which suddenly seems to become more tangible.
Une collaboration EISODE et Avatar.
Camille Bernard-Gravel is a sculptor with a multidisciplinary approach who explores the relationship between humans and their natural environment, strongly imbued with an increasingly deployed technological world.
