KARMA / X (2008)

Audiovisual Installation, 3D Realtime Animation, Stereo Sound.

KARMA / X is an environment in constant upheaval. The installation features a flock of virtual humanoid figures, ceaselessly crashing into one another, to then being pulled apart again, by massive gravitational forces. Locked in a choreography driven by what can be best described as swarm instincts, the figures are confined inside a vertical void space, a kind of no exit arena.

KARMA / X follows a both scripted and generative framework, displaying alternating periods of hyper activity with periods of near stillness.

Commissioned by LE FRESNOY - Studio national des arts contemporains, for
“Dans La Nuit Des Images”, Grand Palais Paris December 2008.
