Cloud Faces is a video-generative installation in which a particularly unstable face is created by a movement of attraction between a million particles and 3D faces that assemble and disintegrate in real time.
Random or interactive parameters change constantly and in a certain perspective, at a given moment when the particles are assembled in a certain way, the portrait appears very precisely in all its clarity and one can recognize the one who was the model of it, and then it becomes blurred again. The darker the particles, the smaller and more transparent they become, creating strata and gaps in the representation of the face.
It is a game about emergence and disappearance, because one cannot master both the various elements, the force of attraction of the particles, the position of the model in space, the continuous movement of the camera. One could speak of a digital flesh composed of dot clouds, CAD of tiny surface elements, each occupying a well-defined position at a moment T in space and moving according to the viewer’s point of view.
Jeanne is a video-generative installation in which a particularly unstable face is created by a movement of attraction between a million particles and the visitor that assemble and disintegrate in real time. Random or interactive parameters change constantly and in a certain perspective, at a given moment when the particles are assembled in a certain way, the portrait appears very precisely in all its clarity and one can recognize the one who was the model of it, and then it becomes blurred again.
