DIVA
Giant video mapped low-poly Sculpture

By Thomas Voillaume & Jérémy Oury 

DIVA is a giant sculpture with video projection. The disproportion of her body, which is larger than the viewers, creates a strange and fantastic atmosphere that is visible every day and comes to life at night with the video projection. The simplification of the details through low-poly and minimalism leaves a door open to the imagination about her exact representation.

By night, the projection on the sculpture gives a strange, hallucinatory and mystical impression at the same time. The video gradually shows us his emotions by revealing his story.

The artistic practice of sculptor Thomas Voillaume has its roots in 3D images and digital technologies. Interested in the concept of the Anthropocene and the impact of man on his environment, he realized DIVA, a humanoid artifact that oscillates between the material world of sculpture and the immateriality of computer-generated images. To create a sense of mystery, he gives the illusion that the sculpture is buried in the ground, like a poetic human footprint in a natural landscape.

Its white low poly surface transforms it into a projection support for digital artist Jérémy Oury, interested in the illusion and movement that virtual 3D can create on a real surface, bringing the structure to life.

DIVA is a poetic trace that blends into the natural landscape.
