Minisymposium Presentation
Interactive Phygital Art and Combinatorial Math
Presenter
As an interdisciplinary artist, Sève Favre's practice spans painting, drawing, installation, and digital media. Her artistic foundation stems from Arno Stern’s pedagogy, which introduced her to art as a process of freedom, sharing, and non-judgmental experience. Building on this, she pursued studies in Art History, Geography, and Contemporary History at the University of Fribourg, complementing her education with a high school teaching diploma from the same university. She spent several years teaching Visual Arts and Art History, while also attending workshops at Ceruleum Art School in Lausanne to expand her knowledge.For the past seven years, she has focused solely on her artistic career, creating and promoting her work internationally. She has exhibited in Switzerland and abroad, including Hong Kong, Italy, and Argentina, Saoudi Arabia at museums, biennales such as Bienalsur 2021 and the Biennale of Larnaca, and at artist residencies such as among others La Paternal Espacio Proyecto in Buenos Aires, Domaine de Boisbuchet in France, Studio at MASS MoCA, and the Vermont Studio Center in the USA. Recently, she was nominated for the 14th International Arte Laguna Prize in the 'Installation and Sculpture' category and was longlisted for the Aesthetica Art Prize 2024.
Description
Sève Favre is an interdisciplinary artist who explores the interactions between the real and virtual worlds through interactive artworks. For several years, she has been developing multimedia installations in which, in some cases, she integrates an interactive digital double (Phygital Art). This artistic exploration aims to examine, by allowing the audience to directly and tactically engage with the artwork, the differences between our physical interactions with the real world and those linked to the digital world. These interactions provoke a range of responses, shedding light on our differentiated perception of the two worlds, our behaviors, and our engagement. Furthermore, for some of her works, she collaborates with PHD student in mathematics Jim Délitroz (HES-SO/EPFL), who establishes mathematical formulas to represent the possible variations contained within her creations. By integrating mathematical calculations into her installations, she raises philosophical concerns, particularly about the scale of digital data, and also challenges traditional artistic conventions.
