Intersidéral, 2017
Light Installation
Through a process of cosmic image-sampling, starry skies are transformed into a captivating choreography of lights, the modulations of which constantly generate new constellations. The work thus establishes links between nature and technology, near and far, the everyday and the magical.
Manif d’art would like to thank the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec.
