Description

Ring is an installation which takes into consideration the urban space networking : the rhythm, flow, organization and spatial hierarchy. The installation embodies a visual effect that is to connect all of these interactions through the implementation of an optical effect: the repetition of a cubic mirror to break the perception of place.

This dynamic installation changes the relationships between individuals and the space they are going through. Ring invites the visitor to play with the installation and space on two levels: The very first approach would be more related to experience a change in the urban areas - as a temporal kinetics. The facets of each cube reflects the place and reconstruct a paradigm that breaks the reading of the course. Ring work at this stage as a visual intrusion, an acceleration that changes the perception of the visited place. This is a spatial rediscovery. In a second step, the installation proposes to get inside, to see his own image multiplied to infinity, colliding with urban detail, it is now a place outside time and outside spatiality, in total rupture with the outside principle.

Biography

In Arnaud Lapierre, the Design is above all a way to see and understand. The Design approach opts for a semantic and contextual way, like a "Slow Tech" functionalist and clean, clear and lucid, searching for meaning-bearing forms that generate a new way of perceiving the object, to appropriate playing codes archetypal formal and effects associated with new technologies. The projects are mutations, overlapping references. Objects and their technicalities give way to their essences. Forms that express evidence, a typology which is reduced the bulk to form a strong signal, a disturbing simplicity by allowing ownership: the mood, the unexpected or surprise to give up subject matter for a time its inert state.
