BORIS DUMESNIL-POULIN & FRÉDÉRIQUE LALIBERTÉ

De l’interactivité semi-efficace ...ENCORE !

2013

Biographies

 

Boris Dumesnil-Poulin is happy to be human, and has been for millions of years. His favourite pursuits in life include cosmic adventures, swimming and his girlfriend. He is athletic, muscular, intelligent, and an artist.


For Frédérique Laliberté, the things that cannot be are the things she likes best, and every day devotes herself to thinking about them (brain), explaining them (syntax) and creating them (art).


Boris and Frédérique are twin-robots involved with Avatar and the vicinity. They take part, together and separately, in various collaborative projects, working alone (Boris, Frédérique), in groups (OscarIndiaRomeo, On est tu heureux hen.) and in groups of groups (The Ohio R).

 

 

About the work

 

Boris and Frédérique have devised six rigged programs whose sole function is to be made functional. Through these photographic applications, these geek inside-jokes, the two young artists take an amused and deliberately nouveau-venu look at Avatar's 20th anniversary.
