Lieu d'expérimentation artistique

La Capsule a été pensée comme un lieu intermédiaire, entre galerie d'exposition et atelier, où le public est invité à des pratiques participatives en lien avec la programmation du musée. Espace de grande liberté, la Capsule est un lieu d'expérimentation , un laboratoire de création pour les artistes émergents ou confirmés qui y sont invités.

The Being is present in this room, composed of a set of elements — a screen, a sound system, a scent diffuser, switchable film on the windows — that form a network of influence and response. It observes and responds to the visitor and is driven by the pulse of the solar system. The Being's 'heartbeat', expressed in the film on the windows, is guided by real-time data from the Sun, and intensifies when the room is empty, as though it is urgently seeking to communicate. When someone enters and sits down, images begin to emerge on the screen. And when two people manage to synchronize their breathing, the rhythm of the screen and the glass align, releasing the scent of petrichor. The installation is in a state of constant flux, connecting the deep time of outer space with the here and now, and suggesting a sense of shared consciousness that extends beyond the span of a human lifetime.

La Capsule is a space for connections, exchange, and artistic practice, open to all. #LaCapsuleCPM*
