Barthélemy Antoine-Lœff
Barthélemy Antoine-Lœff is a french visual artist and an &#8220;iceberg breeder&#8221; whose creations of optical and digital artworks, sometimes interactive, often immersive, express worlds crossed by a contemplative and ecological relationship of nature and elements. Deeply affected by the disapearance of the cryosphere, his current research leads him to question the irony behind the profitability of repairing the climate and its impact on our lifestyles, as well as the energy cost of the exhibited works.
Antoine Meissonnier
Devoted to numeric experimentations, Antoine Meissonnier develops and experiments around tangible and visual interactions mixing theater, performance and technologies. Giving life to scenographies, prototyping video-games, creating monumental installations, designing electronic, Antoine is mixing medium to give reality to ideas.
Antoine&#8217;s work is technical but he takes care of letting enter part of mystery and poetry in his work.

(What disappears is immediately transformed into eternity)
Ce qui disparaît se transforme immédiatement en éternité explores the multiple questions of climate repair and technosolutionism using artificial intelligence.
The installation stages a fictional laboratory for measuring the melting of symbolic mini icebergs which are generated in ice before being placed in an analysis cell with the aim of finding the ultimate iceberg : the one which, by its shape, will make a consensus, which one will take the longest to melt, based on the analyzes of the icebergs previously generated.
The installation uses a genetic algorithm specially developed to try to solve this problem of climatic optimization&#8230;
Obviously, the starting postulate is absurd, and ironic. Just like the idea of ​​imagining being able to &#8220;repair&#8221; the climate by artificially prolonging the life of icebergs with the help of a genetic algorithm.

Since 2016 Julia Borderie &amp; Eloïse Le Gallo follow an exploratory mode to analyse water as a substance influencing territories and bodies. At the crossroad of viewpoints and disciplines, and melting sculpture and cinema, they question human gestures that shape materials and landscapes. Recently, they collaborate with scientists and their cutting edge technologies.

Researchers are trying to inject DNA from photosensitive algae to heal our retinas. 
From ocean blue to the computers blue screen, the vision is hybridized. 
Bleu Silico is a poetic-scientific meander guided through glass sculptures, recounting ancestral relationships between algae and human retinal cells.

In her practice, Shivay La Multiple teaches reason the language of dreams. Using multiple mediums, she/they creates escape routes into new worlds, multiverses and pluriverses. Like Moebius&#8217; ribbon, her research moves from the global to the visceral, from the macro to the micro, from dream to reality, from the physical to the digital. She/they is inspired by the concept of the poetics of relationship, while remaining influenced by the many places she/they has crossed.
Her research focuses on the form and volume of a tale of initiation that begins in the Maroni River, then glides along the Congo River, sinks into the waters of the Senegal River, Casamance and is carried away by the waves of the Nile. So these multiple crossings that wind through space and time, dream and reality, the physical and the digital, all lead to the woody fruit : the calabash.

Windows on sacred Liba 
A political, economic, spiritual and poetic entity 
Bridge between the immensity of the ocean and the interior 
A place of oppression and revolt 
A space for all currents, for multi-faceted beings 
In one and the same movement, never mixing with the salt water
