The Plastisapiens (Lybertram)
Video, 2023
About the artwork
In a bleak future, Plastisapiens emerge as humans altered by widespread plastic ingestion. The contaminated food chain transforms them into mutant hybrids, melding human organs with polymers. In this dystopian world, Plastisapiens strive to survive by balancing their declining humanity with an ecosystem dominated by plastic, reflecting the irreversible fusion between humanity and its impact on the planet.

Audio explanation
Listen to Lybertram discuss this work.
Simon R. Tremblay is an underground electronic music artist residing in Quebec. His interest in AI-driven video production emerged as a visual solution to complement his music, but duration inspired a shift in this focus. This is how Lybertram came into existence, a play on words with the letters "R. Tremblay." This project allows him to rediscover the creativity of his somewhat naive adolescence. He spontaneously creates whatever comes to his mind without following a specific narrative, aiming against an overly intellectualized vision of art.
