Oscillation is a group exhibition gathering twenty-five works and exploratory processes by Canadian and French artists and designers.The exhibition incorporates material and symbolic, living and semi-living processes that metamorphose over time.

Oscillation unfolds like a constellation organised around a central work, Fossilation, a large bioplastic membrane that illuminates the materiality of digital technologies often imagined in their immateriality. This suspended installation – whose sprawling cables distributed throughout the space feed the work with the residual energy of the building – anchors the exhibition in an active quest to create environments that take shape in the porosity between practices and in the activation of relays between objects, materials and flows, researchers and the public.
Oscillation bears witness to movements between research and creation, the sensible and the intelligible, light and darkness. A dynamic exhibition that oscillates from one state to another, following the variations of its entire lighting system.
