Entangled Realities is an experimental video work that orchestrates the encounter between two seemingly irreconcilable worlds: the organic marine environment and the algorithmic digital environment. This creation unfolds according to a sophisticated narrative architecture, built on a dual temporality that evolves in crescendo, carried by a musical composition generated algorithmically via Strudel software (whose interface and composition algorithms are revealed at the outset, immediately establishing the transparency of the creative process).

The work is based on a remarkably coherent tripartite technical infrastructure. The first program constitutes the generative heart of the experience: it deploys a million particles whose movements are governed by attractors, creating dynamic formations that spontaneously evoke certain marine species. This fortuitous resemblance served as a conceptual catalyst for the entire project, revealing the unsuspected correspondences between digital simulation and biological morphologies.

The second program materializes the aesthetics of technological control through the interface of a fictional dashboard, populated with data readings, evolutionary curves, and real-time indicators. This meta-reflexive dimension questions our relationship with systems for measuring and quantifying living organisms.

Finally, the third program, musical, does not merely provide the soundtrack: it rhythmically structures the entire work, creating a pulse that governs the alternation between algorithmic sequences and real images of jellyfish.

The central ambition of Entangled Realities lies in its attempt to hybridize these two image regimes. The underwater sequences undergo visual treatments that deconstruct their naturalistic representation, while superimposition phenomena attempt to anchor the generative animations in a space that regains a more organic, more “natural” appearance.

This strategy of creating tension reveals a profound questioning of the very nature of our contemporary representations. By overlapping two realities from different dimensions—one captured, the other calculated—the work fundamentally questions our relationship to images and reality in a context where the boundary between natural and artificial is becoming increasingly porous.

By superimposing realities from different sources—captured images and calculated images—the video examines the relationship between digital representation and the perception of nature. The rhythmic alternation between these two types of images, coupled with processes of visual hybridization, questions the traditional boundaries between the artificial and the organic in our contemporary visual environment.
