MIGUEL CHEVALIER
ABOUT MIGUEL CHEVALIER
Born in 1959 in Mexico City. Resides in Paris, France since 1985. Since 1978, Chevalier has focused exclusively on computers as an artistic means of expression. He quickly secured a spot on the international scene as a pioneer of virtual and digital art. Miguel Chevalier continues to be a trailblazer, and has proven himself to be one of the most significant artists on the contemporary scene. Miguel Chevalier’s oeuvre is experimental and multidisciplinary. Taking references from the history of art and reformulating them using computer tools, his works investigate and explore recurrent themes such as nature and artifice, flows and networks, virtual cities and ornate designs. His images are a rich source of insights into ourselves and our relationship with the world. Since the 1980s, Miguel Chevalier began tackling the question of the hybrid, generative and interactive image. He has created many projects variously incorporating generative and interactive virtual reality installations projected on large scale, shown on Leds screen or LCD screen, sculptures created with a 3D printer or with laser cut, holographic imagery and other forms. Miguel Chevalier has produced exhibitions and installations for museums, art centers, galleries and public spaces around the world. He has been awarded a number of architecturally- based commissions. Miguel Chevalier’s digital works are in constant metamorphosis, plunging us into a magical, poetic and very contemporary universe.
MIGUEL CHEVALIER / HEART IBIZA Liquid Pixels and Fractal Flowers, 2015
Heart Ibiza. Curated by Ventana Contemporary Ibiza
The project “Live Art” is curated by Ventana Contemporary Ibiza and aims to create a dialogue within the unique environment of Heart Ibiza, interacting with the site-specific human-art performances created by Cirque du Soleil and with the music, enhancing the amazing food experience proposed by the Adrià brothers and becoming part of the show. This year’s invited Artist is Miguel Chevalier, pioneer of Digital Art whose work involves the most innovative technology such as generative virtual reality installations and interactive 3D art. The artist will show his work for the first time in Ibiza, presenting two breathtaking interactive settings Liquid Pixels 2015 and Fractal Flowers 2015, running every night and re-adapted to the Heeart Ibiza environment.

Liquid Pixels 2015
Generative and interactive virtual-reality installation Softwares: Cyrille Henry and Antoine Villeret Technical Production: Voxels Productions Liquid Pixels pays homage to the painting of 1950’s, by Jackson Pollock, Sam Francis, Pierre Soulages, luis Feito … and enrolls in the continuity of “the action painting.” A skin of colorful pixels evolves autonomously. The spectator’s displacement creates a trail of color, which mixes itself and blends in with the “painting” before fading away slowly until a visitor’s next passage. Coming out of the canvas and merging with the screen, Miguel Chevalier finalizes the technique of “electronic dripping”, “a light painting ”, in perpetual movement, where the spectator becomes a digital brush with his/her own body.
Fractal Flowers 2015
Generative and interactive virtual-reality installation Softwares: Cyrille Henry and Antoine Villeret Technical Production: Voxels Productions Fractal Flowers is a new generation of virtual seeds and gardens. A generator produces gigantic beautiful fractal flowers of different sizes, colors and shapes. Besides this, work leans on a generative and interactive principle, creating autonomous virtual seeds, growing, opening out, fading and reacting to the audience. Beyond their marginal beauty, “fractal flowers� with their graphic forms, almost mathematical, reveal freedom since each plant is unique through their abstraction and is never the same. It reveals stylized flowers, through an extreme geometry in their shapes. We are in front of an intriguing vegetal universe that evolves on the frontier between mineral, animal and robotic. Through atypical shapes, amazing colours, others artificial paradises are created. Flowers have on the one hand a real monumentality with its geometrical shapes, and on the other hand an evanescent aspect, when after some seconds, the flowers evaporate in the air like a cloud becoming blurred progressively. The gigantism of these flowers which cast a glance at the visitors, look at them according to their moving, create an enigmatic dialogue with the visitors. Flowers stoop like a bow in order to welcome the public in this mysterious virtual garden, then display their most beautiful colors and shapes, merged on colored backgrounds, lean out as to observe close to our reality, to disappear finally out of sight, out of our fascinated look, touched by the living relation with a disappeared virtual object.
OTHER PROJECTS La Vague des Pixels, Baux de Provence, 2012 Virtual-reality installation 70 videoprojectors, 20 speakers 6 000 m² / 64583 ft²
LINK TO THE VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y37DvH3QA8 Pixel Wave is made up of various “multicolored graphic scenes,” following one upon another in random fashion, that are composed of such symbolic motifs from the digital universe as pixels, 0s and 1s (symbolic representations of binary code), mathematical symbols (+, x, and -), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. The wave ripples forth, endlessly taking shape and then losing its shape, thereby creating ceaselessly replenished universes. This new creative work by Miguel Chevalier harks back to the idea of the trompe l’oeil technique in art, disturbing the perceptions of visitors while creating the sensation of a shifting wall that loses its shape and begins to dance. The reference here is to such Kinetic Art and Op Art artists as Victor Vasarely, Jesús Rafael Soto, and Julio Le Parc, who conducted research into movement and optical illusion.
El Origen del Mundo, Palacio de Bellas Artes, Mexico DF, 2013 Virtual-reality installation Generative and interactive virtual-reality installation 1 PC, 2 videoprojectors 25000 Lumens 50 x 30 m / 164 x 98.4 ft LINK TO THE VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyj4awTUahk This monumental work, urban in its scale, draws its inspiration from the world of biology, microorganisms, and cellular automata. Cells multiply in abundance, divide, merge, and proliferate at a sometimes slow, sometimes rapid rate. Everything comes together, comes apart, and changes shape at top speed. These organic universes mingle sometimes with constructivist universes made up of pixels, thereby dismantling the apparent order of Palacio de Bellas Artes facade. These unstable, black-and-white megapixel tableaux gradually give way to vivid, color-saturated spirals that whirl about. An organic world or a pixilated one, this artificial universe somehow seems to meet up with the universe of living beings. This is a new kind of “technological Baroque” art that gives form to the formless while perpetually replenishing itself. Appearing one after the other, the sixty tableaux will go on to create perturbations, oscillations, fluctuations, even turbulences in the trajectories of these cells. Sinuously rippling curves bring back to life the artificial paradises of the Nineteen Seventies. They create unprecedented visual experiences that are not unreminiscent of psychedelic universes. In the end, what this installation does is pay homage to Mexican muralist artists, such as Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros, whose mural paintings, executed in public spaces, made art accessible to the great majority of people.
Magic Carpet, Ancienne église du Sacré Coeur, Casablanca, 2014 Generative and interactive virtual-reality installation 50 m x 12 m / 164 x 39 ft LINK TO THE VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAtCtlzq4So “Magic Carpets 2014” spreads out across the floor of the former Sacré Coeur of Casablanca Church, covering it with a huge carpet of light. This work draws its inspiration from the world of biology, microorganisms, and cellular automata. Cells multiply in abundance, divide, merge, and proliferate at a sometimes slow, sometimes rapid rate. Everything comes together, comes apart, and changes shape at top speed. These organic universes mingle sometimes with constructivist universes made up of pixels. These unstable, black-and-white megapixel tableaux gradually give way to vivid, color-saturated spirals that whirl about and execute genuine choreographic movements to the music of Michel Redolfi. An organic world or a pixilated one, this artificial universe somehow seems to meet up with the universe of living beings. This is a new kind of “technological Baroque” art that gives form to the formless while perpetually replenishing itself. When the viewer moves, the trajectory of the curves is disrupted under their feet. Sinuously rippling curves bring back to life the artificial paradises of the Nineteen Seventies. They create unprecedented visual experiences that are not unreminiscent of psychedelic universes. “Magic Carpets” revisits, via digital art, the tradition of embroidery with cross-stitching, Islamic art, and especially mosaics, which are not unreminiscent today of the notion of pixels. This installation pays homage to Moroccan craftsmanship, where carpetmaking holds an important place. This world of colors and shapes in movement takes us, as in a giant kaleidoscope, on an imaginary, poetic voyage. Miguel Chevalier’s new creative work plunges us into the magical universe of One Thousand and One Nights and flying carpets.

Trans-Natures, Domaine de Chaumont sur Loire, 2014 Generative virtual-reality installation 1 PC, 2 videoprojectors Diameter: 7 m / 22.96 ft
LINK TO THE VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CG-2JiUovmk Following on from the Sur-Natures and Fractal Flowers experiences, Trans-Natures embodies a new generation of virtual flowers that form virtual gardens. These plants are inspired in form and growth by tree diagrams, an organization system of hierarchical or random data using the principle of roots, branches or stems, leaves or flowers. Each plant is born randomly and grows and dies according to its morphogenetic code in a synthetic natural environment that is in constant transformation.
Meta cities, Pile Pont Expo, 2013 Generative and interactive virtual reality installation 1 Mini Mac, 2 videoprojectors, 1 touch screen 9 x 6,60 m / 29.52 x 21.65 ft
LINK TO THE VIDEO: http://www.miguel-chevalier.com/en/works/digital-city/digital-city.html#meta-cites-2013pile-pont Meta-Cities is a virtual town inspired by the towns and urban spaces of megalopolises. It is revelatory of a generic and imaginary principle of urban growth. Ildefons Cerdà , Baron Haussmann, and Otto Wagner had, of course, worked out urban models capable of restructuring towns and reorganizing their traffic patterns. But today, traffic flows, in real-time exchanges such as transportation, oblige one to rethink the city’s relation to life and territory. Computer tools now allow one to explore these new digital cities as they become worlds unto themselves. With no beginning or end, centerless or multicentered, Meta-Cities is a virtual town made up of wired buildings that parade before our eyes. Developing out of a matrix, this town is in a state of perpetual self-transformation. Meta-Cities generates itself out of itself within a chaos of unprogrammable dynamisms and flows. This virtual town mashes up different eras while projecting us into a utopian city where nature disappears, only to give way to rampant urban development, and where each town eventually merges with the others. Meta-Cities is no longer anything but a huge network that cannot fully be traversed or known in its totality; it is a virtual town of which we would possess only a spatial diagram. This artistic work generates a world of sensations that opens up new horizons while bringing out new emotions. In some sort of way, Meta-Cities can be said to be generative of urban utopias, it is an architectural expression of cyberspace. This new creative work invites us to read and to experience the town in another way, as one enters into a boundless realm of the imaginary.
