"BPM 37093", by Julie Tremble, is a short 3D animation that “relates”—whether fiction or reality, the uncertainty here is voluntary—the death of a star and the slow transformation of its materiality: as the artist describes, “BPM 37093 is a star, very similar to the Sun, which is now dead. Scientists have discovered that by dying, the star has almost completely turned into a diamond, as the Sun will do in billions of years. The video is a fantasmatic representation of this scientific phenomenon, and the 3D modeling, a tool favored by documentary cinema to deal with astronomical phenomena. The animation diverts this technique, perceived as realistic, to illustrate how our understanding of certain natural phenomena, whose perception is inaccessible to us, depends on fragmentary information, representations, and imagined associations.” This representation of the death of a star, symbolic of the (possible) death of the universe (and incidentally, that of the Internet) is also the birth of something else: here, a diamond. The highly accelerated temporality of this extinction of a star—1:14 for millions of years—adds resonance to the whole exhibition project, which, putting into question the Web, also questions the notion of duration and instantaneity, as well as our representations of the world, those many synthetic images of which we are right to be wary. Inspired by film, visual arts, literature, and philosophy, Julie Tremble‘s work focuses on the role that narration plays in our experience of the world. Over the past few years, she has explored the notion of explosion through experimental fictions and digital animations.
