Les Transformables v.102 seeks to present media artworks, kinetic and sound installations, as well as audiovisual performances shown in parallel to the installation works.
The works presented share a hybridity of artistic disciplines and technological mediums, be they digital or analog. They all exhibit a transformation of natural phenomena into composition by means of tools and techniques, which have been diverted from their original usage. Another common denominator to the works shown is the use of direct action, a performative act made by the artist within the framework of an installation he or she created. The works were thus conceived to serve multiple purposes.
The invited artists were selected based on the excellence of their artistic output and because their works raise important questions concerning digital art and science. The presenting artists work in various disciplines within the media art sector. They draw on technology and, at times, scientific means to pervert their creative process.
