I absolutely love this art exhibition in France which finished in the past couple of days I think. Such imagination, a superb and innovative way for the artists to engage with the public. I wish I could have seen it. Enjoy, I guarantee every single one of you –points at the vast army of The Cloud – will be mesmerised.

Mirages & miracles
A series of installations inhabited by digital animism.
Ranging from small to large-scale work, this corpus of installations offers a delicate coincidence between the virtual and the material using augmented drawings, holographic illusions, virtual-reality headsets, large-scale projections. It offers a unique ensemble of improbable scenarios that takes root in both the mirage and the miracle, and plays with the boundaries between true and false, the animate and the inanimate, the authentic and the deceptive, the magical, the wondrous, and the indescribable.
Mirages & miracles / Live Exhibition / New work December 2017, Les Subsistances, Lyon, France.

Oh, Esme, my goodness. Am on a cloud of my own after seeing this. Not so much art as alchemy. Restores one’s faith in the human spirit, powers of imagination and creation and all. You are a star on your cloud for posting this.

Interesting Esme, but it appears to Tubularsock as just a regular day. And Tubularsock doesn’t need a tablet to watch it happening.
And “boundaries between true and false”? Exactly where is “true and false” within the illusion that we are living.

I’m not at all surprised Tubular. As to your question . . . it’s quite impossible to tell, so let’s just give lots of guns out to everyone, because that generally solves everything I hear.

Wow, Esme. This bound me so well in its spell. Foolishly I snudged my snout against the screen and fell through the fourth wall. I fluttered, flittered and floundered from one mysterious miracle of rare device to another. Fortunately I fell against the fourth wall again and found myself back home — a bit confused and disoriented but none the worse for wear. Has this happened to anyone else? Just wondering.

I bet it’s happened to Hariod and Professor Taboo. Nothing would surprise me there hahahaha. Of course falling through virtual walls and dimensions and odd universes is par for the course for Esme, that’s exactly how I ended up on the Cloud – I was falling and it caught me, who knows what would have become of Esme had it not been there to cushion the fall!
I’m glad it bound you Bill, bound to be good news that – beams
