Montagne, cent quatorze mille polygones

Joanie Lemercier

This piece depicts a large valley surrounded by mountain peaks. In fact, what we see is just a grid mesh distorted by an algorithm. The procedural landscape questions the connection between nature and code : what if our reality could be recreated, simulated with mathematical functions?
A layer of projected light creates an illusion of depth and blurs our sense of distance. Days, nights, seasons bring life to the wallpaper landscape, distorting our perception of time and space.
