At the heart of the Dissimilarium 0.2 device, another life is taking place before our eyes, in which the boundaries between natural and artificial, organic and mineral, human and non-human become porous. Is it a space in a city, a geological site or an industrial place that is both archaic and futuristic? Do we see organs spreading in a wild landscape or futuristic machines in action; is it an earthly reality or the scientific fiction of another life, of another planet?
Developments around the stakes and paradoxes of our world, such as «ruins and disappearance», «adaptation», «archaeologies of the future and Utopia», «uchronia and desirable future», or «coexistence», echo with the meanings of the project.


Dissimilarium 0.1 
focused on the construction of five multimedia landscapes, centered on themselves but co-located in the exhibition scenography, and generating individually the evolutions of their luminous and sound sequences. The project worked on the notions of ambiguity and difference through the singular encounter of forms and environments within each landscape.


Dissimilarium 0.2
is developing a new project for 2019 2020. 
A whole new dimension that takes up the common support of the sculptures of Dissimilarium 0.1:
> Linking the behaviours of the five landscapes to bring out a sixth landscape at the overall level of the work.
> The creation of an immersive module of generative words, linked to the conceptual questions of the project, which structures this interconnection of the whole.
The vocal presence of the texts in Dissimilarium 0.2 and the synchronization of sound and luminous behaviours between the landscapes, disrupt the overall perception of the exhibition space. It extends the initial questionning, amplifies the semantic field of the work and the scope of its initial concepts.
