Sculpture, Light, Sound. For his show ''Topologies'', the French artist and curator will create new TV sculptures - moving image transponders. In these new works, TV images as independent entities, will travel within other TV images along with the viewers.
“A moving picture is a real thing and as a real thing it is not imitation. It does not reflect on life, it embodies the life of the mind.” - Ernie Gehr
“TVs emit light out, onto the onlooker and into the room. TVs have become our companion, like an imaginary friend that accompanies us in our daily lives.
Images leave a retinal impression, no matter how quickly or carelessly we glance at them. Images crafted for distribution (i.e. adverts, news, documentary, art) follow certain representational codes. These codes allow us to determine the nature of an image almost instantly. Shape, layout, and composition (topology) of a newly perceived image are matched for pattern against a huge catalogue of dormant memories of mental images, ads, dreams, movies, TV shows and sensations stored in our brains.” -Antoine Catala
