16 halogen light bulbs, controlers, electronics, program
Le Grand O (The Great C) is an alignment of 16 halogen light bulbs standing on the fllor on a length of 6 meters. These lights blink, pulsate, with a great symmetry and an organization which seems mathematical. The lamps emit a sizzling sound link to their luminosity. The approach of spectators distrubs this perfect symmetry, chaos appears in the blinkings, until after a few moments, a new order appears.
Le Grand O, like the calculator of Leibniz able of all thoughts, perseveres in its computational nature, in an impossible but always renewed quest to compute the surrounding world.
