This installation initiates a cycle of research aimed at augmenting or subverting the notion of the screen through additional transparent devices. The image here consists of a mask laser-engraved in 3D from 3 glass blocks. The real part of the mask is extended by 3D prints. An interactive image on the back of the blocks brings the whole to life. The Geisha mask is a reference to Shirow Masamune's manga "Ghost in the Shell" and its 2017 film adaptation by Rupert Sanders. In the background, it partially obscures a digital skinned figure created using the BodyPart3D anatomical database. Designed at the University of Tokyo, this is an electronic atlas of human organs in 3 dimensions.

Viewers can plunge their hand through the mask and probe all the organs in the geisha's skull. The aim is not to show an anatomical clone that respects medical rigor, but to use this scientific source to produce art, astonishment and poetry. It's a question of showing what we can't imagine, draw or foresee, thanks to the power of the computer and the exploitation of a scientific database through the prism of a hybrid screen.
