Latence Humaine

Created specifically for the Espaces Latents exhibition, Latence Humaine explores the tension between human experience and synthetic interpretation — questioning what remains “ours” when sight, memory, and imagination become shared with machines.

Blending cinematic poetry with generative visuals, the piece follows a narrator caught between internal reality and algorithmic projection. Narration, music, and image rhythm continuously shift as human emotion is translated — and sometimes distorted — through computational processes.

Rather than illustrating a clear story, Latence Humaine presents a fragmented sensory journey: faces that never settle, environments that reconfigure themselves, identities that flicker into place only to dissolve again. The work invites viewers to reflect on how deeply technology now mediates perception and how fragile individuality can appear beneath the weight of data-driven representation.

Creative Collaboration

• Visual Direction — Laura Weselak
• Narration, Music & Editing — Luc Leclerc

Their collaboration anchors the film in a balance of emotional authorship and visual experimentation — one grounded in narrative intent, the other driven by the unpredictable logic of generative image systems.

Exhibition Context

Commissioned for the Espaces Latents exhibition at ELEKTRA Gallery (2025), Latence Humaine debuted alongside works from international artists exploring the evolving language of AI-generated video. Within this collective, the film offered an intimate counterpoint — focusing less on spectacle and more on the vulnerability of being seen through technological eyes.
