The Sutherland Test

Adelin Schweitzer  

Adelin Schweitzer is a French contemporary artist, director and performer. His work explores the social, political and perceptual effects of technological imaginaries through immersive performances, installations and transmedia projects. Moving across XR, audiovisual experimentation and speculative fiction, he develops critical situations that question techno-solutionism and the growing influence of innovation narratives on contemporary life.

A graduate of the École Supérieure d’Art d’Aix-en-Provence in 2004, he has created more than twenty works presented in France and abroad, including at Chroniques Biennale, Interstice, Ososphère, Ars Electronica, SAT Montreal, ARCO, PatchLab and LEV Festival. He has also been invited to speak at events and institutions dedicated to XR, research and higher education.

In 2017, he founded laboratoires deletere in Marseille, a platform for production, distribution and transmedia experimentation, through which he continues to develop his artistic research.

deletere  

deletere is an association that produces and distributes multimedia works and performances that question the public's relationship with Machines.  

Founded by Adelin Schweitzer in 2013 in Marseille, deletere laboratories now host a production office, a shared workspace, a digital manufacturing workshop, and a sound experimentation stage. 

Located in the heart of the Belle de Mai district, within the Le Couvent third-place since 2017, in five years the laboratoires deletere have become the place for transmedia artistic experiments linked to the practice of digital arts in Marseille. 

Artocrite Theater 

Artocrite Theatre, founded by six enthusiastic graduates of the School of Drama of The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts in 2010, began as a project-based theatre group. Since 2020, the company runs as a nonprofit-making charity organisation in Hong Kong. It is now a full-time and professional theatre company aspiring to share its beliefs and productions with a wider audience in the global community. 

The company produced a number of award-winning pieces: An Angel Dumped into New City (2016), “Awakening Series” trilogy Sin, The Truth from Liar and Eve (2016-2019). Their works were shown in the UK (Edinburgh Festival Fringe), South Korea, and Japan, including the co-production Me and Sailor Moon in a Subway Trip (2018).
