Miguel Chevalier and Charles Bove: "Second-Nature", Place d'Arvieux, Marseille, 2010

 

Second-Nature is a work that combines sustainable real and virtual. This work consists of a sculpture 18 feet high orange color, recalling the shape of a shell or a large sailing ship. From this sculpture, strong signal in the urban space is projected nightly on a portion of the front of the docks, a new virtual garden generative monumental (28 mx 14 m), inspired by Mediterranean flora (cacti, succulents , palm trees?). This virtual garden evolves and becomes infinite as the seasons.
Virtual plants are each autonomous. They arise randomly, bloom and die according to their "morphogenetic code".

Order made under the Marseille-Provence 2013, European Capital of Culture
