Presentation
Claire Bardainne and Adrien Mondot have imaged an exhibition as an immersive experience based on the idea that, “stones are simple, heavy, and immobile… they speak of the powers that consumed them, the distances they have traveled, the genius that inhabits them.” The Le Silence des Pierres [Silence of Stones] series is an homage to the life that hides in the hollows of things that seem inert, immobile, or inorganic. In their hands they hold virtual reality helmets that can be seen as ghost machines: someone is watching us, dances before us, talks to us, appears and disappears, moves and freezes. There is someone; a shadow, a breeze, or an elusive dust spirit. The exhibition offers the chance to experience a series of astonishing and whimsical scenarios that are at the crossroads of the real and the virtual, the animate and the inanimate, that are authentic illusions and false miracles. Little performances that, via the haze of poetry, the strength of information, and the magic of fiction, question the limits of what is alive.

"A poetic project in which the spectator becomes the actor in a journey where the silence of stones is heard.” Les Inrocks, 5 February 2018
From their performances to their installations, the Adrien M & Claire B company creates installations for both the therater and the digital arts. Since 2011, its co-directors Claire Bardainne (a visual artist who studied graphic design and set design) and Adrien Mondot (a multidisciplinary artist, computer engineer, and juggler) have placed humans at the heart of technological issues and the body at the heart of images, all while developing their own custom software tools. Claire Bardainne focuses on the images and the graphic signs that make up the space, while Adrien Mondot questions movement at the intersection between juggling and technological innovation. Together they explore the possibility of a living digital art that is at once mobile, artisanal, ephemeral, and sensitive.
The company is based in Lyon, where it has a research and creative studio.
