Desert Star

- Le Fresnoy — Studio National des Arts Contemporains, 2025
Music composition and sound design for Desert Star, an installation blending interactive theatre and video game by the Chinese artist duo In Vitro, produced by Le Fresnoy — Studio National des Arts Contemporains.
The installation features a firebird arriving on a desert planet, where it encounters an old computer and a conversation unfolds between them. The film's story questions the notion of autonomy: can a machine acquire a form of autonomy by coding itself, as biological systems do? When such systems are used to manage human society, do they amount to constraint or to a form of freedom?
