BioFlux: Collective Memory as Generative Video Art through Deconstructed Biographical Narratives

Résumé

BioFlux is a video artwork that employs generative techniques to explore and deconstruct documental biographical narratives. The piece is derived from personal interviews, which are woven into a seamless and dynamic stream of human experiences, thereby transporting them into parallel worlds where different outcomes and plot lines may (or may not) come to fruition, based on three pillars: place, person, and memory. By harnessing a generative art approach, BioFlux disassembles individual stories, reconfiguring and intertwining them into a fluid, ever-evolving narrative tapestry. The resulting composition is a living, breathing video flux that transcends traditional storytelling, offering viewers a contemplative and surreal – yet profoundly human – journey through identity’s multifaceted and interconnected nature. BioFlux invites the audience to reflect on the complexity of personal histories and the shared threads that bind us all, revealing the profound interdependencies within our collective narrative.
