✨Unboxing + tapping + whisper✨

Vidéo ASMR
Caroline Delieutraz invited the youtube artist Rikita ASMR to handle a series of her works: the Embedded Files. These are translucent paraffin sculptures containing a collection of images and objects. Part recording medium, part preservation method, part time capsule, these blocks are the materialisation of computer uses in hybrid objects, bringing together technology and D.I.Y. The video ✨Unboxing + tapping + whisper✨ with Rikita ASMR, features shadowy hands probing each capsule in a perfectly choreographed, synchronised gesture reminiscent of both teleshopping and palmistry (reading the lines of the hand). This tactile and sonic discovery is accompanied by the soothing voice of Rikita ASMR. The video mediates between the Embedded Files and the spectators, using the codes of ASMR. This work is part of an exploration of the phenomena generated by the Internet. It questions the emotional projection systems generated by our digital environment.

Caroline Delieutraz
Caroline Delieutraz scrutinizes the circulation of images and the way they transform our imaginations and affect our consciences. Refusing to comment on the future – utopian or dystopian – of the Web, she borrows from its culture of collaboration and DIY. The artist collects visual materials that she manipulates and reworks to create displacements that encourage hybridization and relational meshing. In installations that often combine digital and handmade techniques, she gives materiality to fluid, elusive phenomena. The resulting constructions and deconstructions remind us of the deeply fictional nature of images.
of images.
