Taking as her starting point the question “can images heal us ?”, artist Lauren Huret continues her visual and theoretical research into the effects created by images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entitled L’hypnose du jardin<\/a><\/em>, this new video was created using photographs taken in the wooded park next to her home in Geneva. These images were then modified and augmented using Dall-e software from OpenAI, a company that generates images from text commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This 21-minute video loop, with no beginning or end, is shown continuously in ORBIT_E<\/a>, MBAL’s digital exhibition space. The landscapes evolve as they follow one another and are transformed, appearing and disappearing slowly, punctuated by small hallucinations and other visions that metamorphose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artist has constructed this video to evoke visual and aural hypnosis, with the intention that we might fall asleep while watching. Contrary to the usual demands for attention and alertness, the images here are deliberately soporific, responding to the immediacy, accessibility and acceleration of online images. Here, you can project your imagination and begin your ascent towards the phases of dreaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As sources of iconographic inspiration, the artist also explored fantasized representations of Eden in the Christian imagination. In this \u201cartificial paradise\u201d, Lauren Huret creates a fantastically strange, almost alien garden, imagined by this strange woman-machine alliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
