The Material of Memories

Summary

The visual journey of memories is possible in certain hypnosis or dream situations. The focus on this film is the ability of immersive films to provide the sensation of dream vision. How to visualize what is in the past or in the future, what is absent from the present. The film is a journey, a mental journey that uses all the scales of the human gaze to memories, from the infinitely large to the smallest invisible.

Neon Minuit

Director

Neon Minuit is a duo of artists who use digital tools. They capture bits and pieces of reality to stage them in their playground: the virtual world. Their artistic approach is inspired by scientific experimentation and serendipity. Using the tools of video games, they explore and experiment with new ways of perceiving reality, apprehending new spaces and creating illusions. Like modern magicians, they make pixels sing and polygons dance.
Their work takes as its starting point the subject of reality. They scan the sculptures, monuments, people and landscapes they come across. This material, captured by photogrammetry, enables them to explore spaces made up of clouds of points. It is the memory of a past, a spatial memory. This substance enables them to compose works that are somewhere between reality and the virtual, the photo and the screen, the film and the game. It is in these intersections that they deploy a particular aesthetic made up of thousands of suspended points.
