L’ordinateur

Camille Bernard-Gravel & Baron Lanteigne

installation

L’ordinateur is a sculptural and digital installation resulting from a first collaboration between Baron Lanteigne and Camille Bernard-Gravel.

Taking a look at the positioning of the body in relation to the screen, l’ordinateur takes the form of an exploded personal workstation in front of which are placed armchairs with humanoid curves. Through the abundance of cabling in this out-of-this-world computer, two displays of flexible LED modules are supported by an array of tubes reminiscent of both gaming modules and medical equipment. These stations, forming a network occupying the entire room, are connected to cushioned computer components floating in a cubic structure. The bursting of the network in space, the curved shape given to the two screens and the properties specific to the type of screen used underline the materiality of the digital, which suddenly seems to become more tangible.

L’ordinateur, Baron Lanteigne and Camille Bernard-Gravel | EISODE 2023

Baron Lanteigne lives and works in Quebec City, Canada. The essence of his work emerges from infiltrations and collaborations with many web native communities. His work is part of online events and collections such as The Wrong Biennale, real-fake.org, Electrofringe, SPAMM, Glitch Artist Collective, FeltZine, MoCDA and many more. This online practice is exhibited worldwide at amongst others Ludwig Museum in Budapest (HU), Canadian Cultural Center in Paris (FR), Ramat Gan Museum of Israeli Art (IL), Mapping Festival (CH), Mirage Festival (FR), MUTEK (CA, JP), Dutch Design Week (NL), Sónar+D (ES), CPH:DOX (DK) and the Gwangju Media Platform (KR).
Camille Bernard-Gravel explores the perception of the human species towards its natural environment, which is strongly imbued with an increasingly deployed technological world. The sculptures, videos and installations of this artist from Québec have been exhibited in Canada, Argentina, France, Thailand, Mexico and the United States. While actively involved in the Capitale-Nationale community since 2012, she has participated in several residencies and international events such as Quebec Digital Art in New York (2015), the Montreal International Digital Art Biennial (2016), the Symposium international d’art contemporain off Baie-Saint-Paul (2016) and the Mois Multi of Québec (2018). She recently exhibited a body of work at the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (2021).
