L’espace du milieu explores the reflexive emanations of the middle zone which supports life, between earth and sky.
The middle (or centre or interval) operates multiples changes with what surrounds it.
There also accumulates greenhouse gases, ionospheric manipulations of the weather, chemical and bacterial aerosols.
The work is experiential, inflecting the vibrational activity of middle spaces, which include and exceed humans.

SMALL GALLERY
is recomposed into three physical zones
with the same amount of hybrid immersive sound and olfactive environments.
The fracture generates more interstitial spaces where video, projection screens,
sensors and LED lights give way to a moiré treatment in slight transformation.

Part 2
multiprojection at night
February 26 to March 5, 6pm to midnight.
Launched during Nuit Blanche, February 26, 5pm to 5am.

The multiprojection of 100 feet by 9 feet emanates from the interior of the building.
3D particules and colors play with orders of magnitude and scale.
Their vibrational aspect provokes a « hole » in the urban landscape.
