“True / False ” is a digital installation that explores our relationship with truth in the age of misinformation. Based on anamorphosis, it reveals “True” and “False” only when viewed from certain angles. Five micro-architectures make up a sculptural landscape whose forms align only when viewed from a distance.
An audiovisual installation presents a mix of true and false information, the nature of which becomes apparent only when viewed from a specific perspective and with some distance. By physically staging this contrast, the work highlights the limitations of a binary interpretation of reality and invites the audience to reflect on their perception of the media in a broader sense.
Romain Tardy
Romain Tardy has been working in the field of contemporary visual creation since 2008. His work, developed as a series of poetic experiences using light, video mapping, objects and sound, can often be found in numerous countries around the world. The matter of our relationship with technology as well as the bearing it has on our society are at the heart of his work. That said, Romain Tardy refutes the “digital art” tag—his first goal is to create tangible artworks and physical offline experiences in which the screen is never the limit.
