One of the exhibitions that were part of the 16th International Image Festival - ISEA2017, was Timée; an installation full of lights and sound presented by the French artist Guillaume Marmin, which invited reflection on the mixture of ancient philosophical theories and current technological practices. Good morning Guillaume, welcome to ISEA2017. Can you tell us a little about yourself and your career as an artist? Hello, I am a French plastic artist. I am very happy to be in Manizales. Thanks to ISEA for inviting me this year. I come more from video, I made many experimental installations and videos and now my work is more oriented by light, and its relationship with sound and space, as I did with the Timée installation that we were able to see in Manizales. In relation to your work Timée, can you tell us about the creation process and why it is called Timée (apparently it comes from the book […]

The French artist Hicham Berrada visited Manizales for the first time to present his artistic and scientific work within the framework of the 16th International Image Festival - ISEA2017. Elements such as time, nature or science are part of his artistic career and his interest in the future. Good morning Hicham and welcome to the Festival and ISEA. Good morning and thanks. Tell us about your career as an artist. I am a plastic artist. I work to a greater extent in installations, videos, performances and everything around the theme of landscape, because for me landscape is a rather ambiguous term that wants, above all, to say a man's point of view on nature, and I think that it is through the notion of landscape. It is by the fact that the painters painted the landscape or that the photographers photographed the landscape, that our philosophical conception of nature is based […]

The French artist Alex Augier presented _nybble_ within the framework of ISEA2017 – 16th International Image Festival. This soundscape is a commitment to audiovisual production, since its interest is to find that both light and sound complement each other. This is an interview in which Alex tells us a little about his creative career and his time at the Festival. Tell us about your journey as an artist. As an artist I have a first project, my previous project called oqpo_oooo. It is an audiovisual performance like _nybble_. I presented it for the first time at the Scopitone Festival in Nantes and it was produced by Stereolux. That's my entry into the world of numbers. Above all, I feel like a musician and I also like technology, programming, architecture, design, all of this. And, indeed, I try to reflect to make a coherent synthesis of all this and the […]

In the last four years, the search for peace in Colombia has gradually materialized. After a long war between brothers, a new panorama begins to be seen for Colombian citizens and the eyes of foreigners begin to see this territory and its people as something new and with great potential. This is the reason why it is necessary, now more than ever, to come together in search of forgiveness and reconciliation, feelings in which art plays a fundamental role, not only as a means of symbolic reparation and memory but also as a point reflection with a fixed look to the future. This year the image of ISEA2017, and the 16th International Image Festival reflect the spirit of the event: the construction of peace and bio-creation from art and technology. Colombia is a country with a […]

On what is the joint work for the creation […]

During the 16th International Image Festival - ISEA2017, we were able to speak with a representative of Polar Inertia, a multidisciplinary group from the French underground techno scene. Within the framework of the Colombia-France Year, Polar Inertia opened Nuits Sonores Colombia in Manizales with a concert on Friday, June 16. We asked him about the history of this mysterious group and his experience in Colombia. Good morning Polar Inertia, welcome to the International Image Festival – ISEA2017. Good morning. Tell us how the Polar Inertia project was born. It's a long story. It started when I was in Fine Arts, in 2010. I played music with a friend and we were looking for a musical identity and some concepts. At that time, we were both reading a French author named Paul Virilio, who has written several books, including one called “L'inertie polaire” (Polar Inertia). For us it was a fantastic title, […]
