First, I invite the audience to trigger an emotion by clicking a button online, a gesture as simple as it is static. This process is grounded in reflection: in a world where we become passive, even with our emotions, preferring to click rather than feel, human sensations dilute and fade away. Thus, the emergence of emotion begins with an act of delegation, where one clicks for me to become the bearer of anger, serenity, or courage. For me, it’s like injecting an emotion into a dormant system, a way of rekindling what fades.
Each emotion requires a specific production process, rigorously designed to reach its purest essence. Anger, serenity, courage… each of these emotions manifests differently and demands a precise ritual to come alive. When the emotion reaches its peak, it alters our electromagnetic field, increasing the intensity of light emitted by the body.
It’s this unique electromagnetic wave that I capture, delicately, on the baryonic surface of an electronic chip embedded in the artwork. This chip, akin to a living memory, records a small fraction of this emotion, a tiny fragment charged with the vibrant energy of the moment. Each capture fixes a trace of the produced emotion, grasping the intangible to create a lasting fragment, a sensitive and precious imprint of the lived moment.
Once the emotion is captured, it is integrated into an artwork designed to preserve and extend its intensity. This work takes form on an aluminum plate, previously equipped with a finely crafted printed circuit, allowing the electronic chip to connect to the heart of the piece. This circuit, invisible beneath the surface, acts as a link between the captured emotion and its materialization.
On this aluminum plate, I apply acrylic and epoxy resin to protect and seal the emotion within the material. The painting itself is far more than just a surface: it is a visual interpretation of a unique piece of information. Each work is linked to a blockchain record – a digital imprint, in the form of a video, that preserves the emotion. The Hash of this recording becomes a source of inspiration, a code that I translate into shades, textures, and pictorial forms.
In a way, I am painting information, transforming digital data into a tangible and visual interpretation. Thus, each work becomes a fragment of emotion frozen in material, where painting and technology blend to offer a unique and meaningful visual experience.
