Check out Hugo Arcier’s interactive installation FPS is on view at his “Fantomes Numeriques” Exhibition at Lux- Scene Nationale Valence in France. This brilliant yet haunting work was inspired by the November 2015 Paris attacks.
“The visitors are invited to interact with a game controller, constructing a ‘memorial’ from gunshots. The only visible elements are pyrotechnic effects, gunshots, muzzle flashes, sparks, impacts and smoke.”
Below is a quote from the artist:
“The artist deals with blindness hijacking video game codes, in particular of first person shooter game. The only visible elements are pyrotechnic effects, gunshots, muzzles flashes, sparks, impacts, smokes. All these elements reveals a decor and impersonal silhouettes, innocent persons denied by the subjectivity of the character we incarnate. From dark to light, a blindness is replaced by another one. Gunshots after gunshots a memorial is created before our eyes.” - Hugo
