Collectif Lab212 - Nicolas Guichard & Béatrice Lartigue
Lab212 is an interdisciplinary art collective.
"Since 2008, we've been working on projects at the intersection of art, science and technology. Our work explores the materialisation of invisible physical events, by immersing visitors in a space whose rules are partly written and partly in the making. A critical perspective on the utilisation of technology in a fragile environmental context guides our practice."
Their works were exhibited at the Barbican Centre (London), the V&A Museum (London), the Miraikan Museum (Tokyo), the Museum of Digital Art (Zurich), the DMuseum (Seoul), le Centre Pompidou (Paris), la Gaîté Lyrique (Paris).
Ombres Blanches
["White Shadows"]
How to give materiality to our wireless networks data in the public space?
Ombres Blanches intentionally blurs the boundaries between reality and fiction through an exploration of the invisible physical phenomenon of radio frequency waves. The data flows transmitted in a space appear as traces from an invisible dimension that gradually form and dissolve.
Ombres Blanches embodies in real time the interactions with the surrounding networks, in a climatic phenomenon. The piece reveals the invisible spectrum of electromagnetic waves that surround us.
Project led in partnership with the EXEM research Laboratory.
