PALEODICTYON from ANTIVJ is a visual label on Vimeo . "Loosely inspired by the work and research of deep-sea expert Peter A. Rona, the piece abolishes notions of scale by contrasting micro-architecture with human construction. Fascinated by the marks left by unknown creatures called Paleodictyon Nodosum, the scientist offers the hypothesis that these hexagonal structures are designed in order to cultivate bacteria. A modern day Captain Nemo, Peter A. Rona wanders relentlessly across the seabed looking to discover these living creatures, of which we only know of their mysterious geometrical makeup, reminiscent of the Centre Pompidou’s hexagonal shape frame. Artistic direction by Simon Geilfus, Yannick Jacquet, Thomas Vaquié Producer Nicolas Boritch Visual content by Simon Geilfus, Yannick Jacquet, Romain Tardy Music composed by Thomas Vaquié Architecture Shigeru Ban (2010) More info about the project at antivj.com/paleodictyon Project...
