Amélie Bouvier — Quadrivium – LEO Melody (2024)
What happens when a satellite literally becomes part of the music of the cosmos? In Quadrivium – LEO Melody, Amélie Bouvier translates an astronomical map of a constellation into a score for a mechanical music box. The path of a single satellite crosses the constellation, subtly altering the melody.
Bouvier draws on research into the history of astronomy to explore how our view of the sky is shaped by science, technology and politics. By translating scientific data into image and sound, she makes tangible how outer space, too, is increasingly marked by human presence.
Louise Charlier — Barbarella (2025)
Who is looking at whom in space? For Barbarella, Louise Charlier takes as her starting point footage from a zero-gravity photo shoot featuring model Kate Upton. Using deepfake technology, she replaces the model’s face with her own. The images appear through the portholes of a silver rocket, placing the visitor in an almost voyeuristic position.
Charlier is an artist and researcher working at the intersection of space research, digital imaging and speculative fiction. In Barbarella, she connects the science of weightlessness and space observation with contemporary image technologies such as AI, questioning how technology helps shape the way we look at the female body.”
