Panégoptique is an interactive installation that dynamically fuses the faces of two visitors to conjure up imaginary beings at the intersection of familiarity and alterity. By blending texture, color, and topology it creates uncanny portraits that invite discussions on the mediation of our self-image by technology, by society and by our own vanity and fears. […]
Presentation Uchronie (uchronia) is an interactive installation that uses artificial intelligence to generate dystopic stories and fabulatory portraits inspired by objects personally significant to each interactor. When users approach the installation, they can press an old intercom’s button to verbally identify an object of importance and explain why it matters to them. Leveraging this input […]
“Empreintes sonores” is an interactive installation that looks at the traces our daily lives leave in the digital space. Signs of the times, the installation uses a voice-activated assistant to record continuously. The sounds thus captured are triturated, remixed and played back in the environment. When significant vocalizations are detected, they materialize visually. It then […]
Introduction 13 Eyes is an interactive installation that dynamically assembles monumental portraits of visitors by fusing together fragments of their faces. The resulting triptych conjures up imaginary beings at the intersection of familiarity and alterity. By sharing the microsocial space of the installation, (v)users’ self-representations blur with others in an uncanny fashion. Thus, the installation […]
CONTEXT These 4 pieces are part of a larger series that combine portraits originally created by the Innocent Surveillance interactive installation. The installation used a security camera and subverted facial recognition algorithms to find faces to generate portraits from. Over the course of 3 months, it created 2500 live portraits of willing passersby. Amongst those, […]
Portraits sans permission (a.k.a. Innocent Surveillance, a.k.a. Les visages d’Édouard) is an interactive installation that subverts the conventional use of facial detection algorithms. Instead of using them for surveillance, behaviour prediction or mercantile purposes, the installation uses facial detection to seek faces and draw portraits from them. The portraits are made up of algorithmically-generated lines […]
Yöti is an automated portrait artist that uses salvaged 1980s pen plotters to draw, on actual paper, the likeness of participants using algorithmically-generated squiggly lines. From up close, the portraits look like an abstract collection of linear markings. However, from a distance, the lines clearly reveal Yöti’s interpretation of the visitor’s visage.
Using only zigzagging horizontal lines, this series attempts to feature the least possible information that will still yield a recognizable face. It is the first series of portraits using larger line segments instead of the micro-segments used in previous works.
These gnome images have been created by putting together a photomontage, then distorting them using a jpeg glitching tool and finally re-drawing them using a custom algorithm.
Algomaton is a first attempt at an automated portrait artist. In simple terms, it draws the visitor’s portrait using short line segments and emails it to them.
Julian Assange has been trapped inside the UK’s Ecuadorian embassy since June 19, 2012. Edward Snowden is stuck in Russia since 2013. Let us ask ourselves once again who benefits from governmental secrecy…
MMMM is the mobile version of a previous research project called Mmm. The idea of MMMM is to enable a group of non-musicians to create music in realtime without any prior knowledge simply by using their mobile devices.
Considering Kyle McDonald‘s art has been a source of inspiration to me, I figured his likeness might be an actual source for my art. This is the devilish result.
His Majesty, the Queen of fossil fuel, retrograde ideology, military spendings, secrecy, exclusion, economic dogma, scientific censorship et alii.
Algorithmic interpretation of Kim Jong-un, baby version of his tyrannic father Kim Jong-il.
Algorithmically interpreted series of portraits of Edward Snowden, Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama.
A series of algorithmic interpretations questioning the relationship between humanity and its physical and cognitive environments.
A series of algorithmic portraits of great minds from the XXth century. I admire each and every one of them for various reasons.
Algorithmically created portraits of Barack Obama. The generative algorithm used to draw this portrait was inspired by the NSAs worldwide clandestine surveillance program know as “PRISM”.
Mmm is an interactive installation and/or participative performance allowing 5 users to produce an original popular music piece in real time starting from a previously prepared sound canvas.
Hypnomédia is a performance and installation that tinkers with the capacity or, more accurately, the incapacity for individuals to process the vast amount of data generated by the media machine.
