Analytical Engine
The Analytical Engine is the overall title of 25 subseries created by Anya Belyat-Giunta since 2007. This graphic work was first initiated after the discovery of a rare and unique support: the perforated card. The Analytical engine is a reference to the early mechanical general-purpose computer imagined and designed by Charles Babbage in 1834. The artist embraces this paper and gradually, as lines go by, lays the foundation of her own meticulous, precious and cosmic universe.
The Analytical Engine est le titre global d’un ensemble de 25 sous-série développé par Anya Belyat-Giunta depuis 2007. Ce travail graphique nait suite à la découverte d’un support rare; la carte perforée. The Analytical Engine fait donc référence à la machine à calculer révolutionnaire imaginée et dessinée par Charles Babbadge en 1834. L’artiste adopte entièrement ce papier qui, au fil des traits, lui permet de développer son univers précis, précieux et imprudent. Elle analyse le rapport entre le réel et le fictif, le transcendant et l’immanent, le palpable et l’insaisissable, le primordial et le cosmique.
