Ikse Maître

The interactions between us and our environment come first. We arrive later. Ikse Maître uses reality shifts to challenge the relationships we maintain with the world around us. Grasping the outer environment and processing the acquired data, Ikse Maître mainly works on site while adding video projections and sounds controlled by computers.

As Ikse Maître has worked with sand, stone, statues, threads, fabrics, human bodies, and even monitors locally to shift a living reality, no single material defines his work. He has made use of medical imaging to reveal our internal depth and to enhance human reality. He has worked on the meticulous extrapolation of general reality, on its projection onto distorted videos, and on experimentation with the inter-relationships between visitors and visited places.

Ikse Maître gathers scientists and developers, technicians and sound designers, actors and dancers for collective works and performances within des Vues de l’esprit. In 2014, Ikse Maître founded Le sas, a science-art-society group at the University Paris-Saclay. Since August 2015, he is in creation residency at the Space Astrophysics Institute and the University Paris-Saclay.
