7 Alchimies In Virtual Reality

A precursor of kinetic and optical art, a founder member of the G.R.A.V (Groupe de Recherche d’Art Visuel) at the beginning of the 1960s, Julio Le Parc is an artist who constantly opens up new perspectives in art history. Equipped with a helmet, we are plunged into a physical and mental black hole: a dark and enigmatic surface becomes a territory for luminous explorations and active contemplation. The artist toys with our perceptions, creating here or there moments of truncated perspectives, vertiginous voids, the trembling of the retinas or unstable, interactive movements. There is a total loss of markers.
