The U.S. debut of French Installation artist Julien Maire, an artist who works with experimental forms of projection, highlighting simultaneously both the simplicity and the complexity of reality.

Julien Maire
"Low Resolution Cinema", 2005

"Low resolution Cinema" is a 128 x 64 pixels projection . The piece is based on a high reduction of the resolution and by the other way tries to "decompress" the image in a three dimensional space. The projection is produced with a special projector using two black and white Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD). Both are in movement inside of the projector. The horizon line, or border, is physically cut on each lcd ( each LCD has been half- destructed in order to display only the upper or the lower side of the image. Abstract landscapes and architecture are moving between dissolution and resolution.

Low resolution cinema" has been develloped with the support of the "Conseil Générale de la Moselle" and in collaboration with Nobuyasu Sakonda (JP) and Jean-Pierre Fargeas (F)
