I am glad to be part of the upcoming group exhibition Techno-mondes with my new work Nouveaux Territoires created for this exhibition. From April 27 to October 1, 2023, in Lausanne.
“The Techno-mondes exhibition brings together four artists from Switzerland – Camille Scherrer, Matthieu Gafsou, Catherine Leutenegger and Pascal Greco – to imagine technological and digital worlds.
How to think digital today in the era of the rapid development of artificial intelligence? How does technological innovation reinvent our relationship to reality? What images of the world do technological tools offer? What worlds can we envision?”
I am pleased to be part of the group exhibition Hyperscapes - Virtual Landscape as a Place of Desire? with my work Place(s), from 24.11.22 to 29.01.23, in Kornhausforum in Bern.
”The idea of nature awakens in us a desire for relaxation, originality and space. When we look at the landscape, we see a scenic space designed from nature, a cultural construct. We look at a place that we perceive aesthetically and thus influence it. In digital spaces, the exercise of influence reaches its climax: in video games or in the metaverse, landscapes are built on the model of nature, as we want them to be. This exhibition allows visitors to embark on a journey of discovery through virtual landscapes and video games.”
“Photomode : Out there in games is an exhibition of photographs taken inside the video gaming worlds created by Ubisoft studio. It showcases the original work of four artists – Mélanie Courtinat (FR), Pascal Greco (CH), Will Saunders (US) and Ken Sheely (US) – created as part of a ‘carte blanche’ along with that of 20 player-photographers, selected by a jury of professionals following a contest open to all.”
