bate their condition within these limits. The body thus proceeds to redefine itself. The public is not the only witness; the chosen body, whether real or not, also becomes its own observer. Each body influences the delineation of its own border. Within its limits, it creates space. It is this particular segment, this immanent flaw that is transformed into an experimental field as it highlights the difference between the existing and the attainable. Furthermore, a body’s tensions, imprisonment, and loosening can not be perceived as such.

UNLIMITED BODY Elisa Ganivet

“A being’s reactions are not monuments of elementary movement; but rather gestures doted with an internal unity.”La structure du comportement.”

Merleau-Ponty “All of Pascale Barret’s works can be defined within a form, a shifting form that can nonetheless grows within a structural coherence defined by the process. The artist is not content with a gestural approach firmly anchored within a steadfast postmodernity; for it is at this very point within the act that the movement is necessarily circular. However, and herein lies the very subtlety of her art, the viewer comes to the understanding that what we have here is a constant transgression implying a linear passage. In fact, this process spans distinctly separate realities in order to develop and circle back to other conceptions, thus creating a new form composed of tamed structures. What appears to be a paradox is a relentless search for new stimuli. Her innovative dialectic is an elementary, even essential, whole for it surpasses the norm.

One of the artist’s main vectors is her work on the tangible or virtual body. She uses the human or animal body to question latent frontiers. Indeed, the changes undergone by the being and its environment exacer-

Violence is a pretext. It is neither contextual nor concrete; however, through its own suggestion, it becomes a metaphor for the contact zone, established by or for the other. Moreover, the Other can be the artist herself.

The creation of characters initiated within the fault line facilitates the factual exploration of Difference and Complementarity. Interaction falls in line with the dignity of Otherness. In Pascale Barret’s work, the dialogue between the idea of vulnerability and power through capability, underlines an emotionally rich display. The staging of limits accordingly highlights its opposite and thereby subjugates us with its force.”

grimacing with pain and suffering.

Whereas artistic approaches to cyborg and avatars have been traditionally fascinated by artificial intelligence, reasoning, and conversation, Pascale explores a new and fascinating territory for our relationship with avatars based on emotional communication. In the same line, her future project Beautiful Beasts raises interesting issues about the use of virtual humans in human computer interaction for various purposes (commerce, education, therapy...). It is certainly one of the most relevant approaches to date to the use of virtual humans in art.

CYBORGENETIC CATHARSIS Christian Jacquemin

“Questioning gender, questioning emotions, questioning intimacy, and hosting the web and on-line communities, could only lead Pascale to an encounter with a virtual human...

At LIMSI-CNRS Professor Jean-Claude Martin and his PhD student Matthieu Courgeon address the issue of making virtual humans more believable, more empathic... more human, by focusing on the expression of emotions. Their work associates psychological studies on the facial signals that reveal our deep feelings, with advanced computer graphics rendering on photorealistic or expressionist face rendering. Their avatar, named MARC, was introduced to Pascale when she made a visit to LIMSI. Pascale showed a lot of curiosity and a deep understanding for MARC, his emotional world, and the way she could travel inside.

MARC was then shipped to Pascale’s workshop. And as soon as she could begin to “play” with him, Pascale introduced a big teddy bear stuffed with controllers and sensors such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, and microphone to grasp MARC and put him under control...

Combining anambiguous tender relationship with the bear, and deep sorrow for MARC, she was mistreating him, making him react exaggeratedly, as if he would be

...as if avatars could only enter our physical world by sensing a wide variety of painful emotions through our distressful control, so that we could believe that, yes, they are also humans, after all.”

profil ? Pourrait-on diviser le chiffre par deux ? voire plus ? Je ne mentionnerai même pas ici les utilisateurs décédés, des sociétés très prévenantes se proposant de gérer votre identité post mortem en ligne (My Webwill : « Your Life Online After Death »).

THIS IS ME Pierre-Yves Desaive

“Rares sont les personnes qui aiment se voir de profil – dans un miroir ou en photographie, il s’agit généralement de l’angle de vue le moins apprécié. Il montre à la fois trop et pas assez, ne révèle rien de la singularité du visage. Et paradoxalement, c’est aujourd’hui le terme le plus utilisé pour désigner l’ensemble des données liées à un individu.

Préoccupée depuis longtemps par les questions d’identité, Pascale Barret a tout naturellement été attirée par cette hydre numérique qui connecte entre elles 500 millions d’internautes, Facebook. Bataille de chiffres : comme le répètent à l’envi les détracteurs de Second Life, qui continue de revendiquer une augmentation constante de sa population, une différence subtile (qui peut prendre la taille d’un gouffre) doit être faite entre « inscrits » et « utilisateurs » (on peut être croyant et non pratiquant – c’est en tous cas ce que disent les croyants). Qu’en est-il sur Facebook ? La chasse aux « faux profils » serait ouverte.2 Qu’est-ce qu’un « vrai » profil ? Pour Mark Zuckerberg, il s’agit d’un être humain capable de visionner des messages publicitaires. Mais la vie est courte, alors pourquoi se contenter de n’être que soi ? Second Life (où Pascale est déjà bien active) a ouvert la voie, et les utilisateurs de Facebook suivent tout naturellement la tendance. Sur 500 millions d’inscrits, combien possèdent plus d’un

Cette démultiplication des identités est au cœur du dernier projet de Pascale Barret, dont les « profile pictures » de sa page Facebook présentent une quantité sans cesse grandissante de visages féminins, où le sien n’apparaît tout simplement pas (ou, à tout le moins, pas de manière évidente). Ces images glanées sur l’Internet, de la Jeune fille à la perle de Vermeer à Fay Wray (King Kong), n’ont à première vue rien en commun, si ce n’est le traitement infographique qui les pixellise en partie. Ces voiles numériques, cachant les yeux ou la bouche, font écho aux débats sur la place des signes religieux dans l’espace public (mais après tout, Facebook est tout sauf un espace public).

L’une des particularités du travail de Pascale Barret est la connexion qu’il parvient à établir entre monde virtuel et monde réel. Ce dernier projet pousse la réflexion assez loin, puisqu’il sort littéralement l’œuvre numérique du réseau pour la transposer dans un objet physique (que l’on peut, en plus, accrocher au mur) : une peinture sur toile. Concrètement, Pascale a demandé à une peintre spécialisée dans la copie d’exécuter des tableaux de petit format au départ des « profile pictures » partiellement pixellisées. Le geste renvoie aux questions soulevées par Fred Forest sur la marchandisation de l’art numérique (mise en vente aux enchères d’une œuvre en ligne, Parcelle réseau, 1996), ou encore à l’évolution spectaculaire du travail d’Alexeï Shulgin, passé du net art le plus radical à la production de « media objects » vendus par sa galerie (Electroboutique, 2004). Il s’agit aussi d’une inversion du processus habituel de numérisation d’une œuvre (pourrait-on parler ici d’analogisation ?). Enfin, le fait que ce soit une copiste qui ait réalisé les deux tableaux tirés de la série des « profile pictures » (portraits anonymes de Anne Boleyn et de George Sand) n’est pas innocent : l’on songe à ces collectionneurs qui exposent fièrement des copies à la vue de leurs invités crédules, tandis que les originaux dorment dans un coffre. Sauf

qu’ici, un incident de parcours a modifié le sujet en profondeur. Ce genre d’altération, qui peut survenir lors du processus de numérisation d’une œuvre, est assez inattendue de la part d’un peintre copiste, dont le rôle est, par définition, de respecter autant que possible l’intégrité de l’original. Ces visages pixellisés sont la parfaite métaphore du profil d’utilisateur : reflets incomplets de personnes physiques, modifiés par et pour l’environnement numérique dans lequel ils évoluent.”

“Who’s that girl?

She is the girl next door. She sings like a ragdoll in a golden shower. At parties, Frau Picha pinches you coarsely but says that’s not her. Endlessly she waves at you all night but ignores you the next morning at the supermarket, buying cigarettes for her deep throat. She puts darts in your pants so you look gorgeous, but not too much, not more than her anyway.

At one uncalled remark, she adds you as another brick in her trophies’ wall. What else ? Let’s see.

Oh yes, she pops, lolly, she pops, always. Sometimes a bit of a deadpan type, sometimes a bit of a slut, she sparkles anyhow. Do you see what I mean? Oh no, you can’t cos’ anyone who had looked at her broke as a quaint piece of wrecked glass.

Remember her.

Please do.”

Milady Renoir, April 2010.

“Dans son travail, Pascale crée et démultiplie des formes identitaires. Ses avatars sont générés par des mises en abîme ou en figures de styles ironiques de stéréotypes ou sujets de polémique (animal et gender studies, les avancées scientifiques, les modes); allant jusqu’à les démystifier eux-mêmes, voir les sacrifier.

Frau Picha est un personnage physique et virtuel créé en janvier 2010. Empreinte de la culture Queer

/dans une perspective d’intégrité de la personne et de libre choix de vies et de mœurs pour chaque individu/ elle se présente provocatrice et sulfureuse, dans une allure ultra féminine, ultravestie.

L’objectif généreux de cette performance s’appuie sur l’esprit de la fête. La starisation, le goût pour la personnification, le pop et le clinquant sont bien ses points d’ancrages esthétiques, auquel s’ajoute une franche autodérision du statut d’artiste de scènes.

Le tout est enveloppé de l’adage: amusons nous, sérieusement !

Pour cela, Frau explore des outils numériques et/ou portatifs pour le mixage et la création sonore live: platine, soft, voix synthétiques et a capella.”

Albert Rapace, Freelance Art Critic, 2010.

HEROINE IT’S A MISTAKE, BUT DO MAKE IT STILL. PERFROMANCES FOR CLAUDE CAHUN (2006).

LA BELLE Au Minautaure

Le poète est un vaniteux, un impuissant ; et mon Maître un brutal, un maladroit – je suis bien malheureuse !… Mais, patience ! Un jour viendra… Je n’ai pas dit mon dernier mot !”

Claude Cahun, Héroïnes (1925) “In Pascale Barret’s installations, the “image of the woman“ is never very far. The “woman in image“ is often the artist herself. It is not about “personae“, but about physical presence put in images. The body is shown as pure volume, as fragments, all linked, but independent from one another. The identity is scrutinized and interpreted in a ambivalent way.”

Joan Vandenberghe, 2006.

« Tu m’as menti, la Bête, tu n’es pas un monstre. J’ai pris déjà tant de peine pour m’accoutumer à ta laideur que j’y ai consumé toute ma force aimante. Je suis trop lasse. Non, même en sens inverse, je ne referai pas le même chemin – fût-il celui du retour. Je ne renierai pas ma vie. J’ai toujours été franche avec toi, tandis que tu m’as trompée sur ta marchandise.

Bref, je retire ma main. Les fées m’en sont témoins, ce n’est point à toi que j’ai fait ma promesse !

Promène hors de ma vue ces hanches parfaites – et qui me font horreur. Va vers d’autres cœurs te faire aimer à la fin pour toi-même. Quand on a goûté de la Bête – ah ! que l’homme est chère fade. Je me suis vouée à tes anneaux défunts à la glu du reptile.

Mais avant que de partir – donne-moi, je te prie, l’adresse d’un autre monstre, d’un monstre authentique. » Jugements des trois héros , l’aventure une fois terminée : L’androgyne s’est offerte – et je l’ai refusée. Je suis le plus vertueux des hommes !

“ou bien il arrive qu’un animal, muet, lève les yeux, nous traversant de son calme regard...”

Elégies de Duino METAPHORE, an ironic tale “The Teddy bear was inspired by Theodore Roosevelt’s famous hunting trip to Mississippi in 1902.

Legend has it that the great white hunter was not having much luck that November day; however, when presented with a bear cub on a leash that he could have easily shot at point-blank range, Roosevelt magnanimously spared the cub, thus preserving both the cub’s life and the ethic of hunting as sport. Thanks to Clifford K. Berryman’s famous cartoon in the Washington Post, the anecdote quickly spread around the country. The bear story created a huge wave of popular interest that the burgeoning toy industry of the late 19th century was quick to capitalize on. The first stuffed bear is reputed to have been made by Rose Michtom and diplayed in her husband’s New York shop window. It was an overnight success and Morris Michtom, a Russian immigrant, obtained permission from Roosevelt himself to call them “Teddy’s bears.” Michtom went on to establish the Ideal Novelty and Toy Company, a pioneer in the manufacture of teddy bears in North America. A transnational cultural phenomenon was born.” Putnam in “Stuffed Animals: Transcultural Objects in the Bedroom Jungle”

“Teddy Bear Patriarchy: Taxidermy in the Garden of Eden, New York City, 1908-1936” Donna Haraway Donna Haraway’s work has transformed the fields of cyberculture, feminist studies, and the history of science and technology. Her subjects range from animal dioramas in the American Museum of Natural History to research in transgenic mice, from gender in the laboratory to the nature of the cyborg.

PARADOXAL RAPID EYE MOVEMENT SLEEP, MEMORY RELATED THEORIES. INTERACTIVE VIDEO AND DANCE INSTALLATION, MODEL (2006).

Paradoxal is a sound, video and dance interactive performance for an immersive circular stage installation. Punctually, the dancer interacts with video images through programming. It brings the viewer into a dream.

The same as in a dream, the concept of real time is modified randomly by one’s memory. The performer as well as the viewer is done in real time, while the basis of the sound and the visual creation build the memory. In this way the computing dispositive condenses and enlarges different information in order to produce a sequence that reminds us to the dream.

The aim is to experiment, create a dream and sensations laboratory in space and time.

The synapsis is a neurological contact zone. This zone is represented by a projection screen that links or disconnect the spectator from the filmed action. His double presence and glance are commited to the very heart of the piece. The interactivity process allows the visitor and the environment to influence each others, and create a dynamic movement between the image and the reality.

The visitor is invited to walk alone into a dark corridor. Then begins a new experience, that will be different every time.

In this self-portrait video, I locked in my naked and lonely body in an image that symbolises emptyness.

As I Come out of darkness, many questions rise up : what does « being a woman » mean? The body as an artist? How can I establish communication, how can I make contact with the « others »? And make a concrete substitution created by a violent and repeated shock on the virtual wall that separates me from the visitor. I want the visitor to be confronted to my deformed body envelope, all wrapped in some adhesive tape.

It is another body : man or woman ? Beast ? Chrysalid ? Then, it disappears.

“A woman’s body appears tightly wrapped in transparant tape, naked metamorphoses… then strange. I see and also feel a beating of the being to the world, an existential relationship in the space. It is of the existence to be everything that it is a question. It is very beautiful. “ Jeff, visitor

POUPÉE GIGOGNE THE EVENT IN THE EVENT IN THE EVENT... DUO PACK 100% SELF PRODUCTION. DUO PERFORMANCE FOR PUBLIC & ART VENUES (2006-2007).

Poupée Gigogne was born after Machin and Robinpink met. With a “Duo Pack”, they create a common world. Just like the imbrication process,the performance integrates itsself in public events. Poupée Gigogne is a plastic choreography, in which the performers interact with the concepts of Proportion and Space. This construction is linked to the spectators who create new perspectives as they walk around the performers.

“Poupée gigogne” is defined as an evolutive and playful reflection about the event in which the performance takes place.

The public is invited to participate in this movement procession, and then to attend a mechanical ballet.

This wandering will be orchestrated and punctuated by participative actions proposed to the public.

“Poupée Gigogne entra en action avec force et sans fracas. La performance de Poupée Gigogne s’interroge sur le commerce de l’Art contemporain et sur la valeur de l’artiste. Celui-ci ayant le choix entre se vendre lui-même ou brader son art.”

In the pool, a goldfish confronts the representation of the body in motion. The interaction of the three elements (the image, the goldfish and the soundtrack) create a distance with the situation.

HÉROINE ... VERS LE CAMPS DES VAINQUEURS MONUMENTAL INTERACTIVE VIDEO INSTALLATION (2007).

Inspired by short stories of Claude Cahun, the Heroine project has been elaborated around the idea of “flying away”. It is a series of feminine portraits.

These moments of elevation towards the outspace are the necessary artificial process of these pagan bodies, that will lead them to their sacred existence.

First they fly away, but soon they shall fall down to the ground, for those singular and eternal women are part of a neverending cycle. Just like the neverending soundtrack.

The visitor gives rhythm to the cycles by interacting with a bird in a cage. This bird is permanently watched by a webcam and his movements are sent and analysed in real time by a computer. The program then randomly composes the choreography of these “flying women”.

The bright lines, appearing on the architecture, offer to the visitor a peculiar perspective on the surrounding environment of the chapel. The fleeting nature of light opposes to the “history” of the stone.

The evolution of every phenomenon eventually reaches saturation and finally leads to inertia. A complete change can be provoked by the opportunate intervention of a new force or energy. This energy, made of concrete propositions such as a new language and new technical means, penetrates into the human “network” and quickly eliminates the“vestiges” of the previous phenomenon.

Is it to avoid a state of disorder becoming a weak link in our society ? perhaps sometimes to be a shadow projected on the floor or a flicker in the night.

Website designed with Bart Vandeput,and hosted by iMAL.org The website was inspired by several propositions on the internet, such as statistics, testimonies, tests and medical prescriptions and sales. As many other medical institutions and research organizations that rely on financial systems, those websites are precious resources for the elaboration of DSM.

The video is fervently supported by Bach’s Partitas in the harpsichord. Video Youtube, in low quality, shows electric shock treatments, some experiences of physically violent acts.

To capture on film people in public spaces, Pascale used a video camera hidden on herself.

She also staged her Avatar Sleepwind Dix in the solitude of The SecondLife world.

Published as a directory by the American Psychiatry Association, the DSM was progressively imposed upon the psychiatric community as a model to be used by professionals in order to identify a person’s psychic syndromes in the establishment of a diagnosis.

SANS TITRE POUR HEROINE ETERNALLYRENEWEDETERNALLYRENEWEDETERNALLY INSTALLATION, VIDEO / MODEL, MAISON D’ART ACTUEL DES CHARTREUX, BRUSSELS (2007).

Because of the excessive presence of the body material in « héroïne », I now experiment a structural approach of the volumes and an abstract approach of the body. The visitor stands in a dark room, a black box in which the notion of proportions has dissapeared. An architectural model, made of thin luminous strings, hangs at the very centre of the room, and is reflected by a mirror device (a set of mirrors).

A film is projected through the model : here, the heroines become ghostly bodies. The sountrack is made of evoluating loops in order to reinforce a feeling of total immersion as well as the blurred perception of space and time.

LA PASSE THE TASTE OF BAY LEAVES AND HONEY ON OUR LIPS PHOTOGRAPHS, INSTALLATION & SOUNDS PERFORMANCE MOBILE INSTITUTE RESIDENCE (2007).

The art residence “Mobile Institute” is situated in a now defunct hotel of prostitution called “The Noailles”. Next door stands the hotel “Le Berger” of similar reputation.

“Le Berger” remains in service. In hopes of avoiding the trap of prejudice, I wish to evoke the ephemeral, the passage and the ecstasy that are inscribed in the environment. By observing the spatial configuration of the rooms of this working hotel, I have created a model of the environment and have fashioned out of light emitting thread abstract forms of the furniture in one of the empty rooms of “The Noailles”.

In the middle of the room, a floating body, represented by a 3D animation, is projected in the air.

The soundtrack, recorded live during the opening of the exhibition, is in counterpoint to the abstract feeling that is part of the overall piece. Sound performed with Jean-François Fontaine.

Perspective : Linear perspective is a method of portraying objects on a flat surface so that the dimensions shrink with distance. The parallel, straight edges of any object, whether a building or a table, will follow lines that eventually converge at infinity.

Typically this point of convergence will be along the horizon, as buildings are built level with the flat surface. When multiple structures are aligned with each other, such as buildings along a street, the horizontal tops and bottoms of the structures will all typically converge at a vanishing point.

Two-point perspective drawing.

When both the fronts and sides of a building are drawn, then the parallel lines forming a side converge at a second point along the horizon (which may be off the drawing paper.) This is a “two-point perspective”.

Converging the vertical lines to a point in the sky then produces a “three-point perspective”.

Depth can also be portrayed by several techniques in addition to the perspective approach above. Objects of similar size should appear ever smaller the further they are from the viewer. Thus the back wheel of a cart will appear slightly smaller than the front wheel.

Depth can be portrayed through the use of texture. As the texture of an object gets further away it becomes more compressed and busy, taking on an entirely different character than if it was close. Depth can also be portrayed by reducing the amount of contrast of more distant objects, and also by making the colors more pale. This will reproduce the effect of atmospheric

Pascale realizes since 2008, a series of videos that « mise en abyme » the questions of commonplaces and cybernetics.

Collecting diverse videos on the Internet, for their low quality and the popularization of their content ; she captures from her computer screen the videos of the online game Secondlife and the obsolete adventures of her avartar Sleepwind Dix and she uses extracts of movies or mangas ; and homemade DV films.

The sources for her reflection, among others are the works of D. Haraway : A Cyborg Manifesto : Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century. Primate Visions : Gender, Race, and Nature in the World of Modern Science.

CABINET DE CURIOSITÉS MASCULINES

Stemming from Pascale’s virtual musings, the project consists of tangible framed pieces including text, drawing, engraving on stone, prints on porcelain and paper, LCD screens, digital photography, film, watercolor painting and sculpture combining human, animal, plant and technological components with mixed realities (daily, documentary and fictitious).

The pieces signify the unlimited space and time of Pascale Barret’s collections...

AT FIRST THERE WAS CURIOSITY. THEN ADAM AND EVE WERE CHASED FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN.

Political point of view.

This new kind of curiosity room is the starting point of a project of research questionning identities and gender through the new technologies. Theories or commonplaces, the curious feels it’s able to seize, to surprise the process of creation. In the underlying, create pieces with traditional or high techniques, questions also the notions of art market and the definitions or standards of Contemporary Art in a Digital Age. «Pascale’s artistic practice focuses on the theme of gender representation within science-fiction and feminist digital networks – in relation to the writings of Donna Haraway – and examines concepts of identity, cloning and hyper-communication.

She continues her exploration of avatars, audio, video, Internet and handheld technologies to create Cabinet de curiosités masculines, composed of a physical structure in the form of a miniature museum and a blog.

My objective is to staying in the middle of , on the frontiers, to free (my)self and be with the margin of the thoughts.

However I’m on the way of post feminist, Queer philosophy, animal and gender studies.

I engage myself in a personal point of view. I don’t militate in a political group, even if I’m a very active online person.

My tools are physical and visual, digital and virtual, multi-language word play, and for sure self-derision… or just have a position vis-à-vis our world.

TIME IS THE SUBSTANCE I AM MADE OF

BEAUTIFUL BEASTS J’AI PERDU LA BEAUTÉ QUI ME RENDIT SI VAINE. A GENERATIVE DIGITAL PERFORMANCE (2009-2011).

A trio performance for a sensor augmented Teddy Bear, A virtual character with emotional expressions and a woman. In an audio-visual environment, the audience will be invite to take part on this interactive and mixed realities tale.

In the Love Story of the Beauty and the Beast, I can imagine how the Beauty was disappointed when the Beast became Prince. She devoted so much time to love the animal. I suppose she asked for another Beast, so ugly, so special.

Also, I create another protagonist, used by the Beauty to control the Beast who becomes a Beauty, maybe the Beauty turns into a Beast, and the Teddy transfers in a Prince?…

This generative story will be randomly repeated or removed, for each performance. By manipulating Teddy, I will interact in a real time generative scenario on soundscapes and voice, a poetic chat Bot, the emotional expressions of MARC, his body IDLE, movements and camera’s parameters around him.

Audience will be part of the drama by playing RFID cards.

“As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet

to my taste.”

Song of Songs [Bible] G/A/M/E x For a few years, questions of animality (animal studies) take place in my performances. The D. Haraway’s writings, a cyber-post-feminist sociologist, and more specifically her studies about the history of the Teddy Bear and the naturalization of animals: “Teddy Bear Patriarchy: Taxidermy in the Garden of Eden”, led me to a metaphoric interpretation of a lover drama between a virtual character and myself.

The augmented Teddy Bear, equipped with sensors, will be the sensitive and portable interface with the 3D character, the sound environment, the audience and the textual content. That is too the paradox of this representation which I’m interested in, between a normative reference to childhood, the human cruelty and a certain reality of nature.

With a poetic aim, inspired by the tale of the Beauty and the Beast and other secular and religious writings relating lover relationships, I suggest to rewrite a story (singular to each performance) in a context of mixed reality with the public.

The numerical device allows me, apart from the portable interface of the Teddy Bear, to conceive a performance about a flexible time for the scenario, and to consider the Game / unfolding in a semi-random register. It will be essential to preserve endangered and immediacy inherent to the performance.

As the device is compact and mobile, The installation can easily be adapted to any kind of place or architecture.

For example, the idea of using Avatars as a simulated medium is a demonstration of the Pascale Barret’s themes such as Fleshless Body and Digital Identities.

Like 15th century aesthetic preoccupation, She focuses her work process of carnation, incarnation and disincarnation. However her tools are low and high technological, also it is often more mistakes and defects in a perfect world.

Pascale finds poetic and ludic lines for [her]self and ourselves, to create virtual, artificial and live representations. It evolves throughout human nature, common places and déjà vu experiences in “Life during wartime”. » Albert Rapace, 2010, Freelance Art Critic.

LIFE DURING WARTIME « Because of this evolution of our ever-changing technical world, we are being thrust into a new realm of creative emancipation. However, this mass expansion has thrown our integrity into question and is creating a conflict of identity. Today’s rapid globalization has prompted artists to work in terms of metamorphosis and utopias.

Because the human form and technology seem contradictory, the physical body tries to position itself in relation to it.

Our own body image clashes and even substitutes itself for representations. Our fascination with new technology constantly tempts us to cross the line from the physical world into other landscapes, this is because the body and mind crave desire. We can be more than a man, woman, or animal, in our
