On obtient la partie imaginaire en tournant le modèle d’un quart de tour
On obtient la partie imaginaire en tournant le modèle d’un quart de tour is a research-based, transdisciplinary fiction developed by designer and professor Camille Chatelaine during a residency conducted in dialogue with the Laboratoire de Mathématiques de Besançon (LmB). The project explores parallels between artistic practice and mathematical thinking, approaching mathematics as a narrative and speculative tool rather than solely a system of calculation.
The research is materialized as a journal of residency, conceived as both a mediation object and a call for participation addressed to the LmB research community. The publication makes expressive use of Ready and Petit Frère, both distributed by Plain Form, to support the project’s fictional and conceptual framework. Ready is used on its own (tracked and not), as initials, and occasionally for its emoji.
The project is led by the École supérieure d’art de Franche-Comté (ISBA–SSAC) and supported by the DRAC Bourgogne–Franche-Comté.
