De toujours tu seras l'antépénultième peril
Kévin Ardito (FR)

This sculptural and musical installation diffuses cover versions of Billy Joel’s song Honesty. It uses digital and robotic media to question our relationship with transparency and lies in an entertaining and mischievous way: skull-shaped robots singing a song about honesty. The recorded voices lend some warmth to the robotic coldness of the artwork by adding an organic element to the robots, blurring assessments of identity or the reasons for their presence. The background simulates an Aurora Borealis, which is reflected on the skulls and the surrounding environment.
