Ground Truth is showing in Circulation(s) festival in Paris until May 29.

Circulation(s) festival takes place at the CENTQUATRE-PARIS @104paris , a cultural place in eastern Paris. Located in the 19th arrondissement, the CENTQUATRE-PARIS is a space of residencies, production and promotion for the public and artists from all over the world. Conceived by its director José-Manuel Gonçalvès as a collaborative artistic platform, it enables access to all today’s arts, through a programme that is resolutely popular, contemporary and challenging. As an atypical living area lined with shops, it also offers spaces for free artistic practice and spaces for infants. For start-ups that are part of its business accelerator, it forms a unique territory for experimentation, at a crossroads of art and innovation.

Ground Truth offers a parallel between the evolution of visual technology and our perception of our surroundings. This project sheds light on the study of the forests of Finland carried out by a group of scientists using hyperspectral imaging. In his work, Sheung Yiu interweaves archival imagery, documentary photography and experimental data to acquaint the reader with the mathematical models that provide the tools to “resurrect” trees from a two-dimensional image.
