« Puissance » questions our past productivist utopias and our dreams of dematerialized wealth through an absurd and poetic game of alchemical transformation whose work is ultimately the transmuted matter.
The project « Puissance » explores a relationship between energy, work and the production of virtual wealth. A complex machinery mixes computers and mechanics in a spatial and sound installation. This machine « mines » a virtual currency, the heat produced is transformed into mechanical work and sets in motion a tiny music box playing a song that we end up identifying as the « Internationale ».
