Time slips away in our spiritually impoverished societies, our minds sedated, drifting on autopilot…

We no longer seek meaning, nor feel the need to connect with something greater than ourselves.

Digital installation during MATxZEKKY exhibition named “DEKA” in Laon, France.

I spent a lot of time on the pixelization, color grading, RGB channels, scan lines, and hand-crafted glitches. I really enjoyed the process.

This eye is meant to relieve stress and anxiety. A peaceful gaze, calm yet not numb, fearless, quiet but with a deep purpose.

Can you guess whose eye it is? 👁️

This year again I did participate in the December “Mosaïque en Lumière” held by Champagne JACQUART.

The theme of this year was “performing art” so I choose to emphasize the contrast of the voluptuous mouvement of a dancer in opposition to my rigid numeric / ASCII work.

Here is the result of my part un that projection:

I used Blender to make the background wireframe terrain. The rest was done in Inkscape.

Sometimes one need what it needs but we should be aware to not succumb into comforting the uncomfortable, meaning overthrowing a bad status quo is always better to move forward.

Induced mind numbness should be a last resort and temporary help.

Made this GIF in tribute to the bus company that operated in my hometown decades ago.
