WE ARE NOT GOD I – The Astronomers
Les Astronomes draws on the relationship between art and science that Vidya-Kelie introduces into her visual work. It presents two intersecting creative processes.
Christian, a neuroscientist working on trans-humanism, is being interviewed in a closed-door setting.
Claire, the young filmmaker who shares his artistic issues, pushes the scientist to free himself from his costume of knowledge and film him in a sensitive moment.

DEPLOYMENT*
The artist organizes meetings in cafés; in a protocol identical to all, Vidya-Kelie does not speak, but lets her characters speak; Claire, artist, Manu, assistant and Mr Leclerc, neuro-scientist, all three embodied in “LES ASTRONOMES”, a film that the guest watches in the café, with headphones. Afterwards, the spectator will be invited to speak into a microphone, listened to in silence by the artist.
The audio documents will then be transposed into PDF to be presented as necessary extensions to its original script “LES ASTRONOMES”.
*The deployment is a key stage of the script, and precedes the dialogue continuity. It is developed from the synopsis (short summary of the film’s story). This text of several dozen pages will then enable the main plots and scenes of a film to be described in more detail.
Deployment*, installation, print on A4 paper, 20 treatments and scenarios from the film “LES ASTRONOMES” including the originals / Université PARIS VIII, 2018
