Binarisations
2003 vol 2 digital prints
"Bernard
Demiaux is an artist who has used Internet technology since its inception in
his works of art. He is the creator of several original works of art using a
special technique with computers.
He has created
the "Binarisations" series, a
set of informational objects that are composed of a succession of zero and one
bits (0/1) that are presented in the form of digital pictures and animated
mural sculptures. His latest works focus on the digital portraits of Mexican
Shamans where he uses the binary (O/1) effects to highlight and then reinforce
the magical and supernatural feeling of these encounters.
Bernard
also manipulates the "fog" and "shade" elements of his digital
representations which he captures through particles of light in suspension
emphasizing energy that is invisible to the naked eye.
The combined effects of binary signs and saturation constitute a new way to
suggest the "other side".
He has captured "moments of emotion" from his frequent trips
(voyages) to the United States and Latin America, which today, he transforms
into his series of engraved works and digital prints that he calls,
"Binarisations. "

Artist,
expert in digital art, he lives and works in Paris and Berkeley.
Prize winner of the “Médicis Villa out the Walls” in 1996 and Grand Prize of
the Biennial of Graphic art of Seoul in 1990, he is one of the pioneers of
numerical art in France.
He has been creating digital works for more
than 25 years and he exposed in many large international Museums: George
Pompidou Center, Museum of Sciences of the Villette, Documenta Kassel, Biennale
of Venice, Museum
of Modern Art of Bologna, Museum of Contemporary Art of Sao Paulo.
He co-authord "Objects Plus"
with Pierre Restany (1989) and is the author of the Informational
Manifesto (1992).
It founded
the Digital Art group in 1979. The first emblematic demonstration of the group
was at the Grand
Palais in Paris 1980 and it introduced American, Canadian, Belgian, Swedish
and French artists painting, sculpting and composing electronic music with the
help of computers.
He founded the Center of
Binarisation in 1990 to promote artistic performances on the Internet.
These performances call upon public participation. They produce co-operative
works. These works play with the imaginary emerging from the network and allow
a questioning of the role of the artist, the statute ofhis work, shared
creation and the nature of the artistic object: reality or virtual.
Bernard Demiaux launched several Internet multi-media start-up. He brought back
from his frequent voyages in the United States and Latin America "moments
of emotion" which he fixes today in his engraved works.
