We are pleased to invite you on 24 Sep. to the finissage of CHRONICLES FROM A NEAR FUTURE, in presence of the artists!
De 16 à 18h, rejoignez-nous pour une visite guidée spéculative et unique en son genre ; une exploration la logique du vivant sous un angle inédit. Une Nature Parallèle, fictionnelle, à la fois amusante et troublante, riche et absurde, mais qui, en fin de compte, parle toujours du réel.
The guided tour will take place in French. Free access!
We’re very happy to have Myriam Bleau & Pierce Warnecke as artists in #residency at iMAL! They are currently working on their new project, The End Product, a meditation on the hidden mechanisms behind our personal commodified feedscapes; an a/v performance that blurs the codes between artists and audience.

CHRONICLES FROM A NEAR FUTURE
Phylogenèse Inverse by Dominique Peysson & Golnaz Behrouznia
• SPACE VIRUS FORMATIONS “AKKA-001” METAVIRUS •
This fossil bears the traces of non-autonomous forms (viruses) seeking to subsist in the metabolism of archaic bacteria in the mineral. The affected bacteria thus followed the pattern of a cactoid formation within the pebble, creating the first micro-organic formations visible to the naked eye today.
