Mémoires_vives

de Jean-Marie Dallet

A secret filiation runs from those artists who used the medium of video in the 1960s, the first being Nam June Paik, to those who decided, in the early 1990s, to employ the digital language. To elaborate this hypothesis, the exhibition pursues three threads: the use of machines and their language; memory, and hence, the archive; and, lastly, the multiplicity of screens as a construction of new mental worlds. --Publisher.
