Point De Fuite
Presented at the International Symposium on New Technologies and the Missing in June 2025 in Geneva Switzerland.
Point De Fuite explores ambiguity, absence, and the construction of truth in missing persons investigations. The project addresses the disappearance of individuals and the ambiguous ontological state of those missing. Drawing inspiration from forensic science, the work examines the intricate process of reconstructing narratives from fragmented evidence.
Landscape serves as the unifying thread throughout the work, explored through multiple forms of documentation and interpretation that question how terrain becomes both witness and evidence.
By meticulously assembling diverse media—including found photographs, topographic maps, and AI-generated images—Artemis creates a fictionalized landscape that blurs the lines between reality and imagination. This approach not only serves as a memorial to the disappeared but also prompts reflection on the uncertainties and challenges inherent in seeking truth.
As forensic science advances, the need for specialist interpretation grows exponentially. Each technological breakthrough generates more data requiring expert translation, creating layers of mediation between evidence and truth. This proliferation of sophisticated tools paradoxically both illuminates and obscures.
Point De Fuite ultimately questions not just what disappears, but how we determine what constitutes evidence in an era where the line between authentic and artificial grows increasingly blurred. The work is not just about what is seen, but what remains unseen—the gaps, the absences, the unresolved, and the silent labor of those who search for what has been lost.
