NO WAY OUT

Suspended in between, we must learn how to dance


THE WALTZ

Humans as machines
Machines as humans
No turning back
We’re in too deep

Suspended in between, we must learn how to dance

When the chains will break, when all will be gone, the blocks will still be dancing.

This artwork is a tribute to the infamous Logo turtle. My digital journey started in the 90s in elementary school were I did my first animation using the Logo Programming Language. This turtle was some kind of “cursor” that showed output from commands for movement. Since then, my love for bringing pixels to life kept growing stronger. It fulfilled my desire to push my creative limits and I can proudly say that since 2011, animation puts food on my table. I’ll always remember you Mr. Turtle!

No Hope No Fear

I took this picture at the Mount Royal Cemetery in Montreal a couple of years ago.
After some research, I discovered that it is the Statue of Hope often displayed as monument in graveyards for souls to rest in peace.

I remember when I was a teenager I read this quote from Nikos Kazantzakis in 1955 "I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.”
Since then, I have understood that Hope is the opposite of Fear. 

Nessuna Speranza is about absolute freedom.

Ombre est lumière

Humans have observed the most catastrophic event in the history of the solar system: the sun has run out of hydrogen and died. In a world without any sunlight, architecture has evolved to replicate the functions of the sun. However, even with all the technology acquired, the human solution to a dark world will only be able to sustain organic life for 200 more years. The only thing left to do for people is to find comfort in a stable structure, a source of life, and live out the rest of their days awaiting a certain death.

Desolated

A bit bug unexpectedly creeped out of Strano’s operating system, hypnotizing his mind and body, leaving him into a state of inactive fascination. Phosphor caught it right on time, placed it into his microscope to analyze its nature. He was right, this infection is not from our world.

A voyage without a map, with movement as the only certainty.
We look above to move forward, to try and understand; in vain.
Why?

« Regard vers le ciel »

Un voyage en contre-plongée, sans carte, le mouvement comme seule certitude.
On regarde vers le ciel pour avancer, pour tenter de comprendre; en vain.
Pourquoi?

“The Time That Remains”

With every passing second, the present becomes the past.
We count down without knowing where to begin.
