The ice of mountain glaciers all over the world is disappearing visibly, just like that of ice floes. On the one hand, scientists are alarmed by the melting of the ice and warn of the harmful consequences that will come very quickly, on the other, governments and companies are opening new exploitation routes, new trade routes through the ice floes, and the North Pole is once again the subject of high-tension geostrategic issues. While we see a world disappearing, the melting of the ice is not without deleterious effects on ecosystems, we are already rushing to conquer its ruins&#8230;<\/p><p>We also know the preponderant role that ice floes play on climate balances, in particular on ocean circulation. The reduction of its vast icy tongues will undoubtedly bring its share of disasters that will be added to those in progress..<\/p><p>Everything happens as if our societies, launched into a frantic race for profits and abundance for a few and exploitation and servitude for a large majority, had, probably unconsciously, decided on their ends, their erasures, their disappearances. Thus the foundations on which they rest seem to disintegrate. They melt like snow in the sun.<\/p><p>I also think of Isaac Asimov&#8217;s science fiction novel: FOUNDATION. I can\u2019t help but hope that a science, like that of psychohistory, which predicted in the work the fall of the Empire with 25 million inhabited worlds, and which could reduce by its predictions the long period of barbarism that would inevitably follow, estimated at 30,000 years to only 1000 years, by grouping together all the knowledge and knowledge of humanity, could get us out of the impasse in which we are locked.<\/p><p>This is a childhood dream, it goes without saying. I enjoy here confronting his reveries with the harshness of a reality where the representations of the disaster in progress would be advertising, as if they were trying to sell us at the same time a dream world and its brutal end. I imagine the context of this work as if it were installed in a cave, or a cavern. As if she were referring to the staging of Plato&#8217;s allegory of the cave. How to base an epistemological reflection on the origins of knowledge and how to make the most of it &#8211; that of a humanity freed from its Hybris.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-674e358 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"674e358\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-80c36d2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"80c36d2\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-628814b\" data-id=\"628814b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0eba676 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0eba676\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>The artist:<\/h4><p>Nicolas Tourte was born in Charleville-M\u00e9zi\u00e8res, he lives in Lille and works everywhere.<br \/>Associated artist _ Group A Cultural cooperative<\/p><p>After studying at the ESAD in Valenciennes, he focused on the notion of cycle and maintains a strong link<br \/>with architecture.

What do we see? What do we hear? What do we do?<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>A fallen advertising sign, melting like snow in the sun, conceived as a contemplation of disaster. Letters inscribed with the word foundation, the whole seeming to melt. Faint dripping noises, a certain resonance. We look, turn, perhaps to catch our reflection.<\/p><ul><li><strong>What is it all about?<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>Of a changing world, an obsolete way of life, the allegory of the cave, ecology, threats both perceptible and abstract. A climax.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Is this the first time this installation has been presented to the public?<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>This is the second time, the first being at the Pont du Gard. Can you tell us a little about the process involved in creating this work? A video made in 2008 was the prelude to this installation. A few sketches, a 3d simulation, research into a form of apogee, a few VR tests.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Which artists (in all fields) or, more generally, which art forms have inspired your creative process, and what references, if any, do you allude to in this installation?<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>David LYNCH and David CRONENBERG heightened my long-standing curiosity about the organic medium. I&#8217;d always been attracted by the \u201cpasteboard\u201d and \u201cdo-it-yourself\u201d side of animated films. At the Beaux-Arts, my discovery of video artists such as Pierrick SORIN and Michel GONDRY was fundamental. In a more exacerbated vein, the videos of Bill Viola and the scenic unfolding of Mattew BARNEY played an important role in the way I approached my work. As well as drinking in science fiction (Philip K.DICK, Isaac ASIMOV ), books such as J\u00e9r\u00e9mi NARBY&#8217;s \u201cThe Cosmic Serpent\u201d have stimulated my interest in esoteric speculation. In recent years, I&#8217;ve taken an interest in both digital artists and sculptors who navigate between carpentry and CNC manufacturing processes.<\/p><ul><li><strong>What are the difficulties, constraints, challenges&#8230; encountered during its development?<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>Maintaining a watertight seal, finding the right projection angles to obtain a good video envelope for the lettering and at the same time projecting a reflection of the contours onto a wall.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Can you give us one or more web addresses where we can see your work?<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>Site web\u00a0: www.nicolastourte.net\u00a0<br \/>Instagram\u00a0: @nicolastourte_art\u00a0<\/p><ul><li><strong>A few keywords that would fit in well with your installation?<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>Foundation, mirror, reflection, melting ice, cycle, puddle, disaster.<\/p><ul><li><strong>* A few words about your artistic career?\u00a0<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>A path strewn with pitfalls, where each problem leads to a rethinking of processes and influences a way of thinking and a mode of production.<\/p><ul><li><strong>When did you first become interested in digital art? <br \/><\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>I started in 2000, when I saw a way out towards something intangible..\u00a0<\/p><ul><li><strong>Can you make a living from your creative activity?<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>Yes, since 2010.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeudi
