Artworks
The artworks of Alexis Quesnel-Denette caricature the gamification phenomenon by questioning the devices of gratification and inducement to the yield and the productivity. Through an aesthetic of excess, reminiscent of video games and the omnipresence of social networks, the artist's immersive 360-degree video seeks to reproduce the modes of stimulation of the dopaminergic system, this neurotransmitter which catalysts human motivation, reward and satisfaction.
