WALLPAPERS is a collaborative project founded in 2011 by artists Sara Ludy, Nicolas Sassoon and Sylvain Sailly. Since its creation, the project has existed under two specific contexts; exhibited online and manifesting in space through exhibitions and events.
WALLPAPERS online takes form as a catalogue of digital patterns created by each artist. Each pattern is displayed full-screen on its own URL. On a regular basis, new patterns are added to the catalogue, including occasional contributions from invited artists and the production of series for exhibitions. WALLPAPERS offline takes form as site-specific installations. For larger installations, new series of patterns are created in response to the exhibition space. The patterns are exhibited primarily through projections and screens, producing environments scaled to the architecture in context.
WALLPAPERS refers to both traditional wallpapers applied to walls as well as digital wallpapers applied to computer desktop backgrounds. By extension, the project refers to the practice of pattern-making for the creation of traditional and digital wallpapers. At large, WALLPAPERS refers to a wide range of imageries and formats, equally drawn from the history of computer graphics, decorative arts and visual arts as from the artist’s on-going inquiries.
