The original lineup consisted of Katty Besnard, Marine Neuilly and Zazie Tavitian who met each other in Mansart High School where they bonded over their love of rock 'n' roll music. At the end of 2003, they met Louise Basilien at a The Libertines gig, and she became their fourth girl, the bassist. Listening to The Beatles, they took their name "Plastiscines" from a lyric in the song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

After the release of their first album LP1 Zazie left the band because she felt like she was not a strong enough drummer. Caroline was hired as a replacement for the tour, but was not an official member of the band. During the recording of their sophomore album, About Love, Anaïs Vandevyvere joined the band as the newest drummer. They were signed to Nylon Records.

In February 2011, Marine left the band. Katty, Louise and Ana continue as a three piece band. They released their third album Back To The Start in 2014.

In February 2016, Katty and Ana released the first single of their more alternative rock side-project Arizona Twins.

Je montre le monde
Je vois pour toi
Les yeux mécaniques

Je suis la caméra

Tu vois les fleurs et les oiseaux
Les amis, les ennemis
Tu entends la musique
J’entends le bruit

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Plastiscines's song "Camera" seem to be a reflection on the pervasive presence of cameras and screens in our lives. The singer, who identifies as the camera, speaks of showing the world and seeing it for someone else through "mechanical eyes." They also mention sensing the wind and movement, suggesting that they are not just a stationary camera but one that moves and captures action.

The chorus repeats the phrase "Video World/DV News/Digital World/A certain night fun, you are the camera" several times, emphasizing the idea that everyone is capable of playing the role of the camera in this world of constant documentation and observation. The verses of the song suggest a certain power dynamic, with the camera holding the ability to "reveal secrets" and "stop time," but also being limited to only capturing what is in its field of vision.

Overall, the song seems to be both a celebration and a critique of our increasingly mediated and surveilled world. The camera is both a tool for capturing and sharing experiences, but also a symbol of the loss of privacy and the constant presence of technology in our lives.
