Crossings and trajectories

YOUNIVERSE, THE SEVILLE BIENNIAL
There are also in this exhibition, a few collectives and other French artists like Electronic Shadow formed in 2000 by Naziha Mestaoui and Yacine Aït Kaci who propose linking the real space of the exhibition with the immaterial space of the Internet. The water in the basin of the installation “Ex-île” seems to extend into the reflection of the projected image while the visitor is drawn by a circle of white light that pulses on the ground. Entering into the light means triggering a white silhouette that crosses the image swimming the length of the very real water of the basin. And then there is this threadlike image that looks like a strand of DNA that little by little fills in the trajectories described by the swimmer. But the filamentous structure that is being built before our eyes is none other than the fruit of a collaboration between strangers because it is also possible to participate in the experiment by entering the white circle that dances on the screen of the Internet page, extending the installation of the exhibition into the virtual.
