W1 est une étude sur la façon dont un système informatique autonome crée une image grâce à un règle codée par l’artiste.

Here Sanglim Han investigates the way our bodies are perceived by technologies. The way in which these devices make the body visible allows him to apprehend it as a place where fragmented entities coexist, rather than a singular and healthy entity. W1 aims to untangle and entangle questions of culturally mixed representation and the meaning of interconnectedness.

Benjamin Bardou is a filmmaker, art director and director based in Paris. He trained as an artist at the Georges Méliès school in Orly, an institute specialising in courses mainly devoted to animation and visual effects.
