Numerica is an artwork in to pieces. First, it’s a photographic-painting of a Dutch trompe-l’oeil from the 17th century, created with actual objects and technologies. Secondly, it’s a virtual environment where the viewer travel in the room of the trompe-l’oeil. With his hands, he can tuch the objects, create music and landscape, making his own painting with his body. But everything is illusion, everything is virtual.
