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.

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.
