Immaterials: Light painting WiFi

This project explores the invisible terrain of WiFi networks in urban spaces by light painting signal strength in long-exposure photographs.

A four-metre long measuring rod with 80 points of light reveals cross-sections through WiFi networks using a photographic technique called light-painting.

Wireless in the world

This film was made for the HABITAR exhibition at Laboral :

« This new urban landscape is no longer predicated solely on architecture and urbanism. These disciplines now embrace emerging methodologies that bend the physical with new measures, representations and maps of urban dynamics such as traffic or mobile phone flows. Representations of usage patterns and mapping the life of the city amplify our collective awareness of the urban environment as a living organism. These soft and invisible architectures fashion sentient and reactive environments. »

Solipsist

SOLIPSIST is a three part experimental fantasy short film about otherworldly beings whose minds and bodies converge into one entity. Filled with elaborate costumes, stunning visual effects, and underwater puppets, the film is a non-narrative purely visual/audio experience designed to transport viewers through a hypnotic, dream-like experience. It consists of three parts, each featuring visually fantastic characters and creatures that converge with each other in surreal ways. The film concludes by featuring all three segments combine into a colorful, psychedelic finale.

« Une rencontre insolite entre un dessinateur performeur, un danseur chorégraphe et un créateur d’espaces sonores.

La performance questionne les frontières entre le motif et le mouvement, dans un dispositif plastique et sonore où entrent en résonance des êtres survivants et naufragés, rescapés d’une catastrophe inconnue et ordinaire, hors du temps et de toute appartenance. »
