Valentin Godard (FR)

POSTCITY, First Floor, CAMPUS EXHIBITION @POSTCITY, located next to Open Futurelab OG1

“He welds circuits / and codes all night / Science-man! He makes robots / secretly in his lab, Science-man! He mixes chemicals / without any technical problems, Science-man!”

Part human, part dog, Science-Man is a fictional character who is embodied in various ways: newspaper, comics, performances, figurines, etc. He is halfway between our reality and a sensitive and complex technological future.

Biography:

Born in 93, and then another time in 2003, Valentin Godard went through theatre classes, Ivalice and Rivebois before the ENSBA Lyon. His pointed ears were, for a time, enough to fight against bad guys until, with his green bird head, he went traveling around the world (even though everything was over). Artist for the ENSBA Lyon digital UR, and Trinity Bellucci where he’s a member of the collective Les enfants de Diane, Valentin’s body is at the moment the home of foreign tongues and smells like a wet dog when it’s in the shower.
