GO TO THE INTERACTIVE ARTWORK

The work takes the form of a visual search engine, and is naturally introduced into mobile phones by inviting habitual practice. The hypercodex.org is an invitation to engagement, an action is needed to implant blues cells in a codex of knowledge moving organically in real time.

It is about feeding the hypercodex.org platform with artists/philosophers/politicians/researchers/actors who share their resources as well as visitors with their references.

Hypercodex.org proposes to use lines of code for a collective gesture, to give voice to heterogeneity, and the possibility to inscribe on this map, its url(s) to link them to others.
No hierarchy, no subscription, just benevolence and sharing.

This gesture, which today seems completely senseless, is a performance, the artist opens his server without protecting himself; with confidence and generosity.

WE ARE NOT GOD I – Vidéo 2018. 15min

Behind closed doors, Christian, a neuroscientist working on trans-humanism, is interviewed.

Claire, the young filmmaker reveals her own artistic issues in order to take Christian with her so that she can capture him in a moment of truth.

« Les Astronomes » (short film)

Projection using the codes of the short film, the Astronomers, also the name of the exhibition, is the keystone of Vidyakélie’s new project. Les Astronomes is nourished by his pictorial, graphic or numerical practice, which questions the allegorical representations of the human condition: Les Vanités.

Les Astronomes proposes a closed door between three characters: two audiovisual professionals, the director of the film and her lighting designer on the one hand and a scientist working on Transhumanism on the other hand. As the scientist’s subject demands a theoretical requirement at the risk of popularization, the interview turns into an aesthetic and philosophical reflection on the representation of this process.

In Vermeer’s painting, the astronomer is absorbed by his task, he leaves no room for the viewer, the paradox of this reference is that the epicenter of Vidyakelie’s work is at the opposite end. The three characters forget their tasks to concentrate on an interaction, they question themselves.

The Astronomer has often been linked to The Geographer, a work mistakenly cited by the character of Claire, and these two paintings have long been considered as forming a coherent diptych. They are both of the same size and were painted at the same time. Even if this hypothesis has been refuted, these two works present some interesting similarities. Together, they are the only two isolated male representations of Vermeer. The composition and chromatic choices very close to these two paintings, make these works a secular derivative of the theme of Saint-Jérôme under study. This particularity is also present in the exhibition where each work has the function of fitting into the other, significant also in the projection where a work on the mise en abîme is also present.
