Bleu Gorgone#02

Maison MINATEC, 1st floor

Acoustic and visual immersive artwork

Bleu Gorgone#02 is a meeting point between two distant fields: Physics and Mythology. It is the last piece in a series of ‘reactors’ developed by Stéfane Perraud and the result of cutting edge technology. Successive versions of this science fiction on the verge of fantasy, written by Aram Kebabdjian, tackle nuclear material, conceived as a modern myth. The artist uses fiction as a means of grasping the unaffordable technology infrastructure that surrounds and protects the energy material, and to bring totemism of the nuclear fantasy to a human scale. This transdisciplinary work invites the public to immerse themselves in a space where an almost supernatural diffuse radiation reveals tanks where they can glimpse through an oculus made for scanning their iris.

Sessions of 10 minutes throughout the day.
