52 Shades of blue

GABRIELA GOLDER

2021 / Argentina

Chapelle de l’Ancien Hôpital Général, Rue Sainte-Rose, Clermont-Ferrand

Opening time :
Tuesday to Saturday from 1 pm to 7 pm
Sunday from 2 pm to 6 pm

The work:

De sensu et sensibilibus…

Since the beginning of the pandemic my routine includes looking at the sky. Looking at the sky calms me down. And that’s how I started collecting skies, my own skies, skies of friends in other cities. We all look at the sky.

What does the sky have to tell us? Using a neural network system with a long short-term memory (LSTM) architecture of recurrent neural network (RNN) and a convolutional neural network applied to mobile vision, the system of this work will interpret videos of skies from different parts of the world, generating a dialogue between skies and scientific and poetic texts.

The skies say about colour theory, perspective, about the atmosphere, about astronomy, about explorations and travels, about meteorological phenomena, about ornithology, about geography, about looking at the sky, about the sky being looked.

Observing, reading and measuring the blue sky.
