D\u00c3\u00a9signant avec raffinement une certaine id\u00c3\u00a9e du jardin paysager anglais du 18e si\u00c3\u00a8cle, les curateurs Steven Jacobs et Frank Maes tentent de faire le point sur la mani\u00c3\u00a8re dont les artistes contemporains exploitent et actualisent la notion de paysage. Parmi une int\u00c3\u00a9ressante s\u00c3\u00a9lection associant des pratiques tr\u00c3\u00a8s vari\u00c3\u00a9es (peinture, dessin, installations, video, 3D), deux pi\u00c3\u00a8ces ayant recours \u00c3\u00a0 des technologies num\u00c3\u00a9riques ont retenu mon attention.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monica Studer &#038; Christoph van den Berg : Loch (2009)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>L&rsquo;installation Loch (2009) des artistes suisses <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xcult.org\/ateliers\/atelier2\/stuvdb\/verteil.html\">Monica Studer et Christoph van den Berg<\/a>, vue \u00c3\u00a0 l&rsquo;expo \u00ab\u00a0Beyond the picturesque\u00a0\u00bb au SMAK \u00c3\u00a0 Gand, est constitu\u00c3\u00a9e d&rsquo;un d\u00c3\u00a9cor et d&rsquo;un dispositif de prise de vue (cam\u00c3\u00a9ra). Un podium invite le visiteur \u00c3\u00a0 se positionner, un peu malgr\u00c3\u00a9 lui, dans l&rsquo;angle de la prise de vue. Un \u00c3\u00a9cran lui r\u00c3\u00a9v\u00c3\u00a8le le point de vue de la cam\u00c3\u00a9ra, cr\u00c3\u00a9ant l&rsquo;illusion d&rsquo;un paysage de montagne. Bas\u00c3\u00a9e sur un principe connu et plut\u00c3\u00b4t ludique, le r\u00c3\u00a9sultat surprend par la qualit\u00c3\u00a9 de l&rsquo;image (avant-plan et profondeur, dimensions du d\u00c3\u00a9cor con\u00c3\u00a7u sous forme de tunnel) soulignant l&rsquo;\u00c3\u00a9trange r\u00c3\u00a9alisme obtenu par des moyens artificiels (images 3D mapp\u00c3\u00a9es sur des volumes), et par son parti pris d&rsquo;une vision id\u00c3\u00a9alis\u00c3\u00a9e de la montagne.
