BLEU EAU BLEU O S

Interactive installation: 2 generative videos (Java programming)
Text generator (program Max7)
3 TVs of varying sizes

«BLEU EAU BLEU O S» is an immersive interactive installation that explores the boundaries between virtual spaces and artificial life forms. The installation comprises a triptych of videos displayed on three televisions of varying sizes, creating a dynamic visual array that engages viewers in a digital landscape.

The video on the left features a computer-generated simulation of ocean behavior, capturing the fluid and ever-changing nature of water. The right screen presents this same simulation from an aerial perspective, transforming the ocean’s movements into a slowly undulating grid, abstracting natural phenomena into geometric forms. At the center, a text generator programmed with a predefined database crafts narratives that are randomly broadcast by an off-stage voice, spoken in the first person singular. These narratives introduce a layer of contemplative dialogue, reflecting on the potentialities of imagined spaces and forms of life.

This tripartite arrangement invites viewers to navigate a relationship between the digital representations and the narratives generated, fostering a dialogue that blurs the line between reality and simulation. The installation not only simulates natural processes but also prompts viewers to consider the artificial nature of digital ecosystems and the potential for these technologies to generate new forms of life and perception.
