Gilles TarabiscuitéCA/QC)
In the age of artificial intelligence, Montréal artist Gilles Tarabiscuité explores the relationship between humans and digital technology. His main goal is to reshape works of art and to spatialize, in three dimensions, generated images normally created for 2D screens. In our contemporary context of sprawling digital technologies, he attempts new ways of creating connections and avenues between the material and immaterial, between the physical and digital. His work has notably been presented in Japan, in Germany (European Month of Photography, 2018), in Greece, (MonitorFest, 2018), in France (Geste Paris, 2019, alongside Andreas Gursky, Marina Abramovic and Joel-Peter Witkin, among others) and in the Netherlands (World Press Photo Exhibition Rotterdam and Rotterdam Photo Festival, 2020). He has also been featured in a number of renowned photography magazines and has received a number of awards, from Québec to Japan.

This is the goal of Visions du monde numérique. With simple cardboard polygons and wooden shapes on which he glues pictures of various objects and subjects, Gilles Tarabiscuité manages to create works unrivaled by the best Photoshop experts, in a truly analog way.
