Timée: a resonance of antiquity

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.

Science and the landscape: creative unity in the work of Hicham Berrada

“What I try to do in my projects is not sound or visual, it is audiovisual”: Alex Augier

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 […]
