Interdisciplinary artist François Quévillon examines the interactions among environmental changes, societal issues and technological developments. In his practice, he explores the phenomena of the world and of perception by implementing processes sensitive to environmental fluctuations and human interference. His presentation will begin by an overview of works that address planetary disruptions as well as those affecting contemporary media, such as the relations between algorithms and photographic images (photogrammetry, computer vision and other forms of computational photography). After, he will talk about recent projects rooted in geology and the materiality of digital technologies.
