Our two floating drops of matter, proto-cells, will give us the chance to witness a small miracle unfold before our very eyes. Visit <strong>of them<\/strong> inert units became <strong>a<\/strong>. Alive? This transition from non-life to proto-life takes shape before our very eyes, as the drop-cell divides into two, then four identical units. Only when the two inert entities are united can organic matter self-organize to divide, once, twice, ad infinitum. Once the process has begun, the working drop will fall. And two new drops begin their ballet. Over and over again.\nThe drops are held in suspension by acoustic levitation, and the image of their dance and fusion is projected onto the ceiling. A song immerses us, captive, in this endless process.\n\t<iframe title=\"Chemical reaction in acoustic levitation\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/418488663?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"930\" height=\"523\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0152uvre en cr\u00e9ation Projet laur\u00e9at du programme STARTS de la commission europ\u00e9enne Suspended moment pr\u00e9sente le ballet de deux gouttes en l\u00e9vitation, deux corps et leur voie lact\u00e9e, suspendus dans les airs, qui s\u2019approchent doucement, puis fusionnent&#8230; Nous voil\u00e0 spectateurs de ce moment tr\u00e8s pr\u00e9cis, hors du temps, de cet [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":460,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"su_portfolio_item_director":"","su_portfolio_item_year":"","su_portfolio_item_client":"","su_portfolio_item_skills":""},"portfolio":[2,3,7],"class_list":["post-447","portfolio_item","type-portfolio_item","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio-installation","portfolio-performances","portfolio-video"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dominiquepeysson.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_item\/447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dominiquepeysson.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_item"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dominiquepeysson.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio_item"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dominiquepeysson.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dominiquepeysson.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=447"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dominiquepeysson.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dominiquepeysson.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dominiquepeysson.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio?post=447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
