Loris Gréaud // Frequency of an Image

loris-greaud-image

Loris Gréaud Born in France, 1979; lives in Paris and in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Recent solo exhibitions: Centre Pompidou, Paris (2005), Institute of Contemporary Arts, London (2006), Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2006), Mori Art Museum, Tokyo (2007), Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2008); he has participated in numerous group exhibitions.

The project Frequency of an Image was initiated in 2006, when Loris Gréaud decided to perform a neurological experiment and to record his own brain activity for a period of thirty minutes. Gréaud was then in the midst of another project, Cellar Door, which afforded him significant public recognition. His unusual activity in the space between art and science, and his dedication to various kinds of experiments, endowed his work with a unique quality. It served as the basis for a speculative aesthetic strategy that was concluded in the context of a comprehensive solo exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2007). The current stage of the project Frequency of an Image involves the transposition of electric frequencies into vibrating sequences. The work’s central unit broadcasts brain waves to six miniscule vibrators, which are set into the exhibition space’s architectural structure. Seismic and other vibrations respond to the frequency of ideas, revealing the reciprocal interaction between the work and its viewers.
