"The Prize Fondation d'entreprise Ricard 2015 opens up areas of research which seem, at first glance, very removed from each other, but turn out to be informed by usual systems of liaisons. Thousands of fireflies emit bioluminescent light at regular intervals. They flash in unison at the same rhythm as the stridulations of hundreds of crickets, and metronomes. This experience of synchronicity echoes the heartbeats that all visitors perceive when they plunge waters where "aquatic" poems are broadcast. These waters hem an island which researchers have tried to capture in its entirely. Was it to better camouflage a secret laboratory equipped to extract precious substances from our computer puzzles? Or to plan, in the greatest secrecy, a prospects about the way in which objects forming our world see connected with each other, synchronized, and mutually influence one another."
