The 5th International Digital Art Biennial (BIAN), organized by ELEKTRA
Arsenal Montreal
As part of the 5e Biennale d’art numérique Elektra, I present Castles made of sand, for the first time to a Montreal audience. It is an assembly line that rebuilds sand castles destroyed by celestial influence.After having infiltrated the 68th floor of the BMO bank tower in Toronto, the installation “Castles made of sand” had entered the imaginary world of the financial institution. It was like an industrial production line dedicated to the desperate construction of sandcastles. The paradox of production is pushed to its limit: in this line, destruction is an integral part of the process. The machine works in a closed circuit, using the product of its destruction as building material. The sandcastles are made and unmade endlessly, without fatigue.
