ARNAUD LAFFOND

( France – França )

ARNAUD LAFFOND - is a multidisciplinary artist, plastic digitization workshop based in Lyon. His work is characterized by the creation of virtual environments and computer-generated materials, questioning the relationship between man and new technologies. Color, as a raw material, is digitally sculpted, treated and altered to be reborn in a vibrant and luminous architecture. He explores and crosses the digital on different contemporary subjects, creating bridges with science to digest and transmit his artistic vision. Without forgetting a plastic and scenic work, working the digital as the tangible to surprise the spectator.

SYNOPSIS:

« Walk in the mist »
Video that invites to a spiritual journey through colors and abstract forms. A video where everyone can find their interpretation, like when you find a shape in a cloud.
Pareidolia (from the ancient Greek para-, « beside », and eidôlon, diminutive eidos, « appearance, form ») is a psychological phenomenon, involving a vague and indeterminate stimulus, more or less perceived as recognizable. According to studies, this is due to survival instinct. Discern the weakness of the strong, the ally of the enemy, the danger of security ..
Escape from the city.

SYNOPSIS:

Arp 299 belongs to the family of ultraluminous infrared galaxies and is located in the constellation of Ursa Major, the Great Bear, approximately 150 million light-years away. It is the 299th galaxy in Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies. Despite its enormous amount of absorbing dust, enough violet and near-ultraviolet light leaks out for it to be number 171 in B.E. Markarian's catalogue of galaxies with excess ultraviolet emission.

Hadji Hajj Music

SYNOPSIS:

Mountain Fragility is an experimental video artwork that explores the materiality of the glitch as a visual language. Through a series of compositions generated from digital errors, the artist examines the tensions between architecture, chaos, and abstraction.

The mountain, a symbolic figure of stability and elevation, becomes here an unstable territory, traversed by visual disturbances that evoke both digital ruins and mental landscapes. The glitch, far from being a simple technical accident, becomes a creative tool, a visual force capable of generating form, rhythm, and emotion.

Accompanied by the soundtrack of Hadji Hajj (Քնքշություն Լեռան, "Fragility of the Mountain"), the work offers a sensory immersion into a world where error becomes aesthetic, where collapse generates a new geography of perception
