I want to go to the sea

I want to go to the sea… but I live in Paris and it is 22/04/2020, during the international ecological crisis; coronavirus. 1h04m49s of travel is the time it takes me, clicking non stop in google-earth, to reach my goal. In a special road trip without visible pollution, I walk on the grounds of the past (2018/2019). Without any obstacles, the horizon is revealed and I can tread a virgin land to reinvent.


See here the complete trip, get out the popcorn!

Hypercodex.org Human and organic archiving

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.

#SUN @sun_trace

Sun.vidyakelie.com

Every second, people who are connected to the social network Instagram post new photos to #Sun.

SUNPATH is somewhere between an emotional map and a real-time data repository; the photos posted on the #SUN feed are arranged on a timeline and geo-located, revealing new trajectories of a digital sun making visible a new frenetic energy that becomes unpredictable.

SUNPATH

On her map, the activity of the hashtag #SUN traces an abstract and infinite yellow line that the artist feeds with a narrative that she generates with artificial intelligence.These lines humorously translate the occupations of Instagrammers who think about the same thing every few milliseconds, poetically archiving the contemporary skies of thousands of digital ‘Suns’.
The laser prints are fragments of this collective astro-digital canvas, creating a constellar installation.

SUNTRACE

Edited like a page of a novel, the database of the SUN category translated by an AI offers a true narrative of a sun that passes from hand to hand. Somewhere between surreal abstraction and new definitions of “Sun” in the digital world, the #SUN cartels are like doors to a literature that bears witness to bottles to the sea that are both international and contemporary.

Fertility

The photons that escape from the sun have a course almost similar to that of a Y gamete.
The composition of space holds unknown properties that allow stories, secrets and enigmas to be navigated through the walls with dizzying speed. The notion of emptiness is no more since the proposal of the 0.

Palimpsests #SUNNY

The definition of palimpsest implies an erasure of the canvas to propose a new visual. Here, the Hashtags stored on Facebook’s servers are an indelible trace; a superposition with physical theorems then takes place and reveals a mathematical reality to the behaviour of humans with their phones.


Thus, the artist humorously and unknowingly uses the torus or the Finobacci sequence to validate, as with Boticcelli’s Venus, a form of scientific coherence in the use of SUN hashtags on Instagram.

COMPOSITE emotional mapping

The COMPOSITE web site (clic to access): allows the referencing of LANDMARKS by a virtual cartography. Each point is a link allowing to display the consumption of the constellations engraved by the photographic archive of the walkers.

To integrate his personal constellation into the COMPOSITE project, the future collector will enter the geolocation and the date of a passion that he wishes to have engraved and the site will propose an appointment with the artist.

A confluence of History, cartography and the virtual, the site allows to record an emotional digital terrestrial territory offering an echo with stars.

RAMA zoom-experience

In pendants, religious icons are replaced by photo-montage processes.

Spiritual programming is a cultural legacy that evolves as technology advances. In a society with exponential calculations, where time is approaching 0, the true dimension which only appears in the present time is highlighted. Representations, which are becoming more and more numerous, are no longer replaced, but superimposed and could disappear to approach the moment of truth*.

IN NON-DIGITAL SPACE

Gigantic medallions house icons that are probably spiritual, religious and correspond to the old and new beliefs that digital technology allows us to maintain.

RECEPTION OF COMPLAINTS in a mall in Arcueil

A short video…  of the wishes of some people the Artist met at Arcueil. Project made in a résidency with Kind of kind collective, Le lieu de l’autre, Mars 2020

This film sends the life goals of the inhabitants of the shopping center “la vache noire” in Arcueil, France, on March 03, 2020 into space.

This information collected on small papers by the artist tries to be heard beyond the earth. The representation of the man of 2020 through this film reveals a fragility. The popularity of the conquest of space flirting with the simplicity of these wishes are exposed in divergent objectives and reveal a disorder that exists among men on Earth at the beginning of the third millennium.

As a metaphor for the exercise of art exhibition, the film SENT uses the desire to share its secrets to create opportunities for sharing and the fear that the message discovered may prevent its realization. Vidya-Kélie gently transfers these wishes into a dimension that escapes intimacy and superstition and now confronts the judgment of the other in the widest possible way including the extra-terrestrial, the non-human, the unknown.
