Bertrand Plane
Bertrand Plane is a multimedia artist who reflects on our relationship with everyday life and ordinary objects, including new technologies. Trained as a coder, he continued his studies at the ENSAD in Paris.
In his projects, he uses heterogeneous media. He hijacks garden solar beacons, as in the work L'envers des pentes, in the Massif des Écrins, in 2019, or he uses laser projections to narrate a journey, as within the installation Kumano Kodo logic, for the Heritage Days Fortress of Salses, in 2017.
It is with the Bumpit! project, developed from 2005 with the support of the CNRS, that Bertrand Plane becomes interested in the world of digital arts and video mapping. In the early 2000s, video mapping was an unknown term and an experimental technique.
In Bumpit! the artist uses projection to "activate", for a few seconds, paintings composed of objects painted in white. The neutral projection illuminates the installation and suddenly the video animates the objects, bringing out the corresponding colors and textures. The objects used for these sculptural compositions are benches, a cathode ray television set, shelves, a table, boards, suitcases... ordinary tools that, revealed by the projection, become surprising. The different versions of the installation are part of a series conceived by Bertrand Plane between 2006 and 2011, inspired by video games and the process of creating graphic cards.
