The Maurice Benayoun's big questions (2)
|
| In Is the Devil curved
? , the visitor goes once again in quest of truth. In Is God flat
? the spectator locked up between the brick walls of a room, digs
corridors in the walls in which plane and moving representations
of God appear. |

In Is the Devil curved ?,
as paradoxical as it may seem, we dig labyrinthic corridors through
the sky,. The clouds are cut in real time as the spectator moves.
This air architecture has a purpose . We discover supple organic
shapes slowly moving in portions of space. As we come closer, those
plump shapes change their behaviour. They are not insensitive to
our « contact ». The unveiled « diabolo » of offered flesh shivers
as we approach and we understand that we are in front of an evil
seduction game. Little by little, one discovers that those almost
sensual shapes, (angels or devils?), rich in successive experiences,
tend to a curved ideal of seduction. As a matter of fact, the shape
of the « diabolo » adapts itself step by step to the spectator's
desire.
Don't we have here a TV channel fantasy : creating shapes able to
learn by themselves how to seduce the audience ? |
| This is a diverted use
of what we call « artificial life », which beyond simple demonstration,
talks about life (the purpose of art) by placing shapes in space.
The visitor of this virtual world truly exists within this world
changing at his contact. The meaning itself is in this relation.
The interactive realism lies in the transposition of laws that rule
the world in laws that rule the meaning. |
Is
God flat ?
Is
God flat ? and Is the Devil
curved ?
Two Virtual Reality devices (VR) bases on the same principle ...
