Fructus animalis - 2 weeks interactive art residency in the #fablab of La fruitere numerique

Fructus animalis - 2 weeks interactive art residency in the #fablab of La fruitere numerique | Digital #MediaArt(s) Numérique(s) | Scoop.it

This work is the fruit of a shared tech-art residency in the biggest rural fablab of Europe, "La fruitere numerique". The tech-artists specialties are a priori opposed in their disciplines but dialogue gave a new dimension to their work. After digging in the personalities, the obvious appears, the roots of this team's work join in a fundamental principle, a strong desire to give back life to apparently dead or unwanted material. Evolving in hackerspaces is also a great training for the tech side of the team, fighting against planned obsolescence being a tradition, the good reflexes were immediately ready.

 

Moreover, "La Fruitiere Numerique" participates in this fight by collecting a great number of aging electronic devices so parts salvage was even simpler than finding food : infrared sensors & emitters from broken VCRs & remote, old mouse sensor, lasers from DVD burner, etc.

 

The collaborations of these makers gave birth to an exhibition in which the visitor is in immersion. For him, it's a total artwork experimentation, in which every elements are connected.
