10. Parallels
Artist Information
PARALLELS molds the architectural facade of The Detroit Institute of Arts Museum together with Nguema’s virtual algorithmic clone. It choreographs every stone and line of the museum in a poetic ballet borrowed from technology where heritage and modernity co-exist. The thousands of blocks under the algorithm logic will create the illusion of a complex but consistent metamorphosis of the structure of the museum. With a singular aesthetic focusing on the lines and points, it combines projection, light and laser in the pursuit of an innovative and poetic narrative.

Yann Nguema
Born from a scientific background, Yann Nguema finally turned to the world of artistic creation. As a musician, he founded the group EZ3kiel in 1992 for which he developed the entirety of a rich visual production that has become a reference and a trademark. He focuses his work mainly on performing arts with a constant emphasis on an image-music association. Very quickly he integrated computer technology into his creative process by developing his own software and thus adding a completely interactive dimension to his productions. As a designer of exhibitions, exhibitions and scenography, he has designed numerous projects combining technology, research and poetry. Yann is currently an ambassador artist for the Lyon Festival of Lights.
