EDF Foundation, Paris
29 November 2018 - 3 February 2019
Exhibited artworks:
Matrix Paris (special commission)
Reflections on Patterns and Signs v2
Dial White-Red White-Blue v2
Curator: Richard Castelli
The exhibition consists of one big installation Matrix Paris, especially commissioned for the EDF Foundation, in the two-floor main space and six light panels in the smaller exhibition space in the back of the ground floor.
Five Light panels are from the series Reflections, on Patterns and Signs v2 and one light panel is from the series Dial, White-Red White-Blue v2.
Matrix Paris is a fully immersive and experiential light installation. The visitors walk into a maze of LED lights distributed over two floors. The colors of the lights slowly change between red and blue.
These colors delineate the visible color spectrum as well as the spectrum of our human emotion with red as the most sensual color and blue as the cool, rational counterpoint. The corporeal intensity of the immersive aesthetic experience combined with the underlying technological aspects of a highly sophisticated binary logic blurs the border between the virtual and the real.
