Body Electric 2017

Olivia Erlanger’s “Body Electric” conjures fictional tales inspired by science-fiction, economic flows, and integrated design. Bringing together digital and sculptural elements, the artwork is triggered by viewers moving between spaces and devices.Three motion-sensitive benches—the oldest industrial element placed in public contexts—act as an audio device, inviting audiences to sit and listen to fictional testimonies about an ecological event. A thick mist of fog and blue light creates an immersive atmosphere of limited visibility, constantly changing in response to oil price variations.
