About the artists :
Collaborating as a duo since their third year of study, Juliette Jaffeux & Vincent Carroff use video games as a medium to develop a storytelling practice that reflects contemporary visual culture. Drawing on influences from television and digital media, including reality TV, detective series, conspiracy theories, internet forums, and fandom culture, their characters embark on quests that explore the layers connecting popular culture to historical narrative forms like quests, tales, and prophecies, while also integrating references from art theory and critical thought.
