CALL – REAL ILLUSION / VIRTUAL ILLUSION
Illusions, between surprise and wonder, destabilize and amuse. They interrogate our perceptions of our daily reality.
Far from being simple mistakes, they can throw our preconceptions off, and open doors to realizations about our reality as different and multiple. In the end they are true vectors of knowledge that allow us, through the pleasure they generate, to let ourselves be carried away to other possibles.
If the creator’s intentions include the desire to provoke these questions in the spectator, then illusions can become an essential part of artistic creation.
For example, the artists of Op Art and kinetic art of the 1950s and 1960s, through play on illusions, notably wanted to surprise the spectator, in order to “wake” him up and get him out of his perceptive habits.
With the arrival of digital technology, other forms of illusions are emerging: virtual and mixed reality, through immersion and interaction in a virtual or mixed world, thrust the spectator in a play on the borders between the real and the virtual.
In this call, we want to question these effects of illusion, emerging from virtual or mixed worlds. They can be inspired by illusions that we experience in the real world, but they can also be specific to the virtual. It is therefore between real illusion and virtual illusions, through immersion and interaction, that we want to explore new artistic forms that can question our perceptual habits, and make us tip over another conception of the world.
The desired proposals, in the form of an installation between the real and the virtual, could for example:
- question the effects of the hybridization between the real and the virtual
- be inspired by real illusions and/or the creation of illusions specific to the virtual
- Explore the effects of multisensory illusions related to immersion and interaction in a virtual/mixed world.
- offer moments of digital magic
- establish a particular narrative in time and space
- play with spatial and temporal paradoxes
- make us reconsider our belief in a stable and unique reality
- to explore wonder as a driving force of creation
- question the relational aesthetics between the spectator and the artwork with regards to its illusions
« On s’émerveille profondément et durablement en voyant que le quotidien est merveilleux au-delà de sa dimension ennuyeuse et répétitive, que le réel de tous les jours peut paraître chargé, à n’importe quel moment, d’un surcroît de réalité. » Jacques Ninio
