Description
still living (a, b, e, f, g, h, i, j), 2006
Series of infinite visual installations. Computer, specific algorithm

This series of visual installations revolves around the concept of living graphics: graphics using immediately readable visual codes –pie-charts, bars, curves, etc.– but animated by the same internal forces that they are supposed to describe. The sign and the thing become one. Each artwork is infinite and autonomous, a particular delicate situation: a still life, but living. The series allows the artist to explore in a more precise manner the “aesthetics of the action” that programming as a material enables. Finally, Still Living takes a voluntarily political stand by making the living pulsate under the ubiquitous charts of our daily life.
