Le Peuple des Bibizars, GenghiZKhan, 2024
with Damien Truffaut
Speaker stand, wooden shelf, lampshade, woven cable, switch, electronics
The Bibizars are robotic creatures who communicate with each other using the bibi-binary language invented by artist Bobby Lapointe. They are introverted creatures who shut themselves off from humans. The installation draws a parallel with the disruptive impact of humans on ecosystems, and highlights current questions about the validity of AI and robotics research.
Formes de Danse, Éclicé, 2023
with Cécile Ghrenassia & Olivier Cresson
Fabric, 7 robotic arms, sound
- 20 ×
- Ø 120 × cm
Dance forms is a long-term project whose leitmotiv is exploring the sensibility and emotion that dance solely through movement can bestow. Does dance allow it to convey an emotion? What could be the outcome of the interpretation of a human choreography by a nonhuman being?
Éclicé is the second stage in the formal search of Dance Forms since it frees itself from what constitutes both the main constraint and the easiness of Vahrom: its relative humanity. Éclicé is a large continuous form, like a living and animated landscape, reacting to the sound of the music as an interpreter.
Éclicé was produced with the contribution of the Mission Culture of the University Gustave Eiffel and the FabLab Descartes.

« Since Pythagoras, prime numbers have always fascinated humanity. How to compute them all? Can this computation force a machine to exceed its limits? This installation allows you to put your finger on the theoretical and exciting limits of algorithmics and complexity. »

Formes de Danse, Vahrom, 2019
with Cécile Ghrenassia
Performance
Dance forms is a long-term project whose leitmotiv is exploring the sensibility and emotion that dance solely through movement can bestow. Does dance allow it to convey an emotion? What could be the outcome of the interpretation of a human choreography by a nonhuman being?
Vahrom is the first piece of the Dance forms serie. This small robot from the eighties interprets a choreography by Cécile Ghrenassia on the music for the ballet "The Creatures of Prometheus" composed by Ludwig van Beethoven.
Sylvotrope, 2018
Tree, light string
Commissionned by Festijam 2018 based on an original idea of Alexandra X.
(From the Greek sylva and the Latin tropos: who turns towards the forest). Sylvotropic is an invitation to turn towards our immediate environment and become aware of its existence and rhythm of life.
Sylvotropic is a tree installation in which a set of luminous spheres, like a new kind of fruit, surround the tree and offer it a means of expression. Weak, red and fast, its beat expresses stress, while green, slow and intense, expresses serenity. To go from one to the other, a long "hug" is needed.

TPM is a Musical postal sorting desk (Tri Postal Musical). Its purpose is to sort letters that will never reach their recipient.
TPM is an interactive work, each visitor can write a mail and put it in a box of the postal sorting desk to integrate or modify rhythms, melodies, sounds or letters read aloud. Letters will never be opened or read, they allow contributors to concretely integrate the questions suggested by the work on transmission and memory.
TPM also gives rise to composition / mixing performances: the act of sorting, mechanical and repetitive is characteristic of alienation.
Boites à Nuit, 2018-2023
Music box, sound and light
« Night Box is the collision of two worlds, the obsolete one of the music box with the one of the excesses and clichés of the nightclub, which still remains a symbol of the nightlife. But both of them also contain a hidden dimension... »
Lydia Feodoroff
The Night Boxes (Boîtes à Nuit) are vintage music boxes with a twist: instead of soft music and a ballerina, a cabaret dancer is accompanied by light effects and techno music.

The restoration of a German educational game from the 1940s led to this tribute to craftsmanship in the form of a moving tableau. A series of miniature reproductions of machine tools hang on the wall, each activated in turn by a delicate mechanism of axes and belts. A control panel and small lamp-posts complete this quaint testimony to the golden age of the industrial era, a far cry from the Duchampian considerations of contemporary art.

The triptych of photographs entitled Visions of the Observatory focuses on the sense of sight that is indispensable to astronomers. Through a personification and a play of mirrors between the observer and the observatory, the relationship between mankind, its invention and its imagination is highlighted.
Visions of the Observatory is a group exhibition of research photographers from Paris Observatory and the Paris Institute of Astrophysics (IAP), funded by the IAP's CLAS (Local Social Action Committee).
Coupole de l'IAP, 2007
Scientific research represented as the infinite quest for knowledge through the technique of fresco.
