l’ordinateur is a sculptural and digital installation resulting from a collaboration between Baron Lanteigne and Camille Bernard-Gravel.
In reaction to how the screen is shaping our bodies, l’ordinateur takes the form of an exploded personal workstation with humanoid curved chairs. Through the abundance of wiring of this unusual computer, two screens of flexible LED modules are supported by a set of tubes reminiscent of both game modules and medical equipment. These stations, forming a network occupying the entire room, are connected to cushioned computer components floating in a cubic structure. The curved displays and the network of electronics devices involved in the artwork underline the materiality of the digital, which suddenly seems to become more tangible.
