East of the Sun, West of the Moon is the title of a Nordic fairytale about a heroine who leads a cursed prince, turned into a white bear, to a place that lies East of the Sun, West of the Moon. This lovestory, in which the fate of humans and animals are intrinsically linked, is later on used in the song with the same name, most famously interpreted by Frank Sinatra (1940). During a residency in Sweden (at Hybrida), a centuries old iron industry wasteland that turned into endless forests where the wild wolves roam, Broersen and Lukács conceived n a collaboration with Smári Róbertsson a new version of East of the Sun, West of the Moon. They transformed Sinatra’s beguiling song into a sometimes desperate, growling plea for love, embodied by a white wolf. Spinning in circles, the hybrid wolfman(creature) is torn between the natural and the virtual, the animal and the man inside him.

Margit Lukács and Persijn Broersen work and live in Amsterdam (NL). They are graduates of Graphic Design from the Rietveld Academy Amsterdam, followed by a MFA at Sandberg Institute Amsterdam. Furthermore they were artists in residence at the Rijksakademie voor Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. Their work, consisting of layered projections, digital animations and spatial installations, has been exhibited by institutions and organisations worldwide, among others at Remix Nature/Cultural City of Europe ESCH (LX), HEK, Basel (CH), WRO Media Biennale, Wroclaw (PL), the Biennale of Sydney (AU), Le Lieu Unique, Nantes (FR), LUMA Arles (FR), Wuzhen Biennial Now Is The Time(CN), U2/UCCA Beijing (CN), Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (NL), FOAM (NL), MUHKA (BE), Centre Pompidou (FR), Kröller Müller (NL) and ERES Foundation Munchen (DE). Their films have been shown at a.o. ARTE TV,  Oberhausen Film Fest (DE), LAForum (US), Kassel Dokumentar und Filmfestival (DE), Videomedeja, NoviSad (RS), Oberhausen Film Fest (DE), LAForum (US), Rencontres Internationales Paris Berlin@Louvre Paris and Haus der Kulturen der Welt Berlin, the NewYork Film Festival (US), and the domestic festivals IDFA and IFFR.

In ‘All, or Nothing at All’ Margit Lukács and Persijn Broersen explore the hybridity, in image and sound, of the ultra-thin surface of digital photography in order to contemplate its role in shaping our experience and memory. ‘All, or Nothing at All’ takes its cue from Frank Sinatra’s 1939 first hitsong. Originally performed from an utterly male perspective, Danish singer Nina Vadshølt transformed the song into an angelic, rebellious chant in which many voices converge and dispute eachother. Broersen & Lukács constructed an army of avatars, impersonations of Nina Vadshølt, that ramble through a digital replica of the ancient city of Viborg(Denmark): a labyrinth of abandoned malls, garages, crusader paths and centuries old alleys as portals to another dimension. The choreography is based on West Side Story, the 1961 adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, in which Puerto-Rican and Polish streetgangs fight eachother. In ‘All, or Nothing at All’ the duality is depicted in the display of the real and the virtual, in which the ancient town of Viborg appears as a hollow veil resembling the way in which everything seems feasible that appears on our screens, a world in which there is no middle ground, only Everything or Nothing.

Margit Lukács and Persijn Broersen are artists based in Amsterdam, working together since 2002. In today’s visual culture, fiction is usurping the place of reality. Broersen & Lukács respond to this by creating video animations presenting a parallel world of spectacular images that wholly absorb the viewer in which 'nature' functions as a mirror for our media-dictated culture. Their works, consisting of layered projections, digital animations and spatial installations, have been exhibited by renowned institutions and organisations both domestically and internationally. Lukács & Broersen’s work have been shown at a.o. Rencontres Arles (France), Art Wuzhen (China), Biennale of Sydney (Australia), Karachi Biennial (Pakistan), Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (Netherlands), FOAM (Netherlands), MUHKA (Belgium), Centre Pompidou (Paris), Kröller Müller (Netherlands) and Casa Enscendida (Madrid). Their films have been shown at several festivals including LAForum (Los Angeles), Oberhausen FilmFest (Germany), Kassel Dokumentar und Filmfestival (Germany), Rencontres Paris Berlin at Louvre, Paris (France), Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin (Germany), the New York Film Festival (United States), IDFA (Netherlands) and IFFR (The Netherlands). Upcoming shows are Forest on Location, A Space Gallery, (Toronto, Canada) Shaping the Invisible World- at Hek (Basel , Switzerland) and Rubble: A Matter of Time at Auckland Art Gallery (New Zealand.

In Establishing Eden, Broersen & Lukács focus on the establishing shot: the moment a landscape is identified and becomes one of the main protagonists in a film. In blockbusters like ‘Avatar’ (James Cameron, 2009) and the film series ‘Lord of the Rings’ (Peter Jackson, 2001-2014), these shots have been used to capture and confiscate the nature of New Zealand, propagating itself as a new Eden, evergreen and unspoilt. Here, fiction takes over from reality: mountains and forests exist under the name of their cinematic alter ego’s. Broersen & Lukács travelled through the wilderness of New Zealand to capture these landscapes, and with that, they appropriate the nature of New Zealand once again. Creating an architecture of fragments connected by the camera movement of a perpetual establishing shot, they show this Eden as a series of many possible realities, an illusion that comes together just as easily as it falls apart.

Margit Lukács (Amsterdam, 1973) & Persijn Broersen (Delft, 1974) are artists living and working in Amsterdam. They work in a wide variety of media- most notably video, animation and graphics- producing a myriad of works that reflect on the depiction of nature in our increasingly virtual society. With intricate layers of (filmed) footage, digital animation and images appropriated from the media they demonstrate how reality, (mass) media and fiction are strongly intertwined in contemporary culture. Broersen and Lukács studied at the Sandberg Institute and at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. Their films, installations and graphic work have been shown internationally, including: Biennale of Sydney (AUS), Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (NL), Muhka (Bel), Centre Pompidou Paris (FR), Shanghai World Expo (CN), Casa Enscendida, Madrid (ESP). Their films have been shown at several festivals including LAForum in Los Angeles, Kassel Dokumentar and filmfestival (Ger), Paris Rencontres (FR, Ger & Esp), New York Film Festival (USA), IDFA, Amsterdam (NL) and International Film Festival Rotterdam (NL).

The copy-paste mentality of the media and its audience is reflected in the film Beyond Sunset & Sunrise; a mosaic-film in which Broersen & Lukács connect scripts and characters from classic Hollywood movies such as ?Sunset Boulevard?, ?Badlands?, ?Wild at Heart?, ?The Last Picture Show? and ?All About Eve?, a range of films in which the protagonists struggle with their aspirations. Aspirations that eventually turn destructive. Shot entirely in Hollywood, this fictional network of a dream chasing community merges with the reality facing the ambitious actors; a no-man?s land between Los Angeles and Hollywood. A place where dreams define reality, and the dream is defined by reality.

They work in a wide variety of media- most notably video, animation and graphics- producing a myriad of works that reflect on the ornamental features of today`s society. The work of Broersen & Lukács is characterized by a quest for the sources of contemporary visual culture. With intricate layers of depersonalization, re-mediation and re-interpretation they demonstrate how reality, (mass) media and fiction are strongly intertwined in contemporary society. Broersen & Lukács studied at the Sandberg Institute and at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. Their films, installations and graphic work have been shown internationally, including: Centre Pompidou Paris (FR), MUHKA Gent (BE), Coca in Torun (PL), Kunsthalle Tallinn (EST) and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. Their films have been shown at film festivals worldwide including LAForum in Los Angeles (USA), Experimenta Media Arts Biennale (AUS), Kassel Dokumentar Film Festival (DE), Paris Rencontres (FR, ESP, DE), International Film Festival Rotterdam and the IDFA in Amsterdam (NL). Broersen & Lukács have been invited to participate in the 19th Sydney Biennale, 2014.

Mastering Bambi Walt Disney`s 1942 classic animation film `Bambi` is well known for its distinct main characters ? a variety of cute, anthropomorphic animals. However, an important but often overlooked protagonist in the movie is nature itself: the pristine wilderness as the main grid on which Disney structured his `Bambi`. One of the first virtual worlds was created here: a world of deceptive realism and harmony, in which man is the only enemy. Disney strived to be true to nature, but he also used nature as a metaphor for human society. In his view, deeply rooted in European romanticism, the wilderness is threatened by civilization and technology. The forest, therefore, is depicted as a `magic well`, the ultimate purifying `frontier`, where the inhabitants peacefully coexist. The original 1924 Austrian novel `Bambi, A Life in the Woods` by Felix Salten was banned in 1936 by Adolf Hitler. The novel shows nature (and human society) more as a bleak, Darwinist reality of competition, violence and death. Broersen and Lukács recreate the model of Disney`s pristine vision, but they strip the forest of its harmonious inhabitants, the animals. What remains is another reality, a constructed and lacking wilderness, where nature becomes the mirror of our own imagination. The soundtrack is made by Berend Dubbe and Gwendolyn Thomas. They`ve reconstructed Bambi`s music, in which they twist and fold the sound in such a way that it reveals the dissonances in the movie.

Persijn Broersen & Margit Lukacs are artists living and working in Amsterdam and Paris. They work in a wide variety of media- most notably video, animation and graphics- producing a myriad of works that reflect on the ornamental nature of today`s society. With layers of depersonalization, re-mediation and re-imagination they demonstrate how reality, (mass)media and fiction are strongly intertwined in contemporary culture. This results in a body of work that hovers between ornament and perspective, between a journey and a cul-de-sac. Their work is shown in filmfestivals, museums and galleries and broadcasted on TV worldwide. Recent exhibitions/screenings include: Casa Encendida, Madrid / Centre Pompidou, Paris/ Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam/ Oberhausen Filmfest, Germany and more

David Brognon & Stéphanie Rollin ont représenté l’abandon de l'activité et l’interruption brutale du temps qui en découle, par des images de l’usine désertée, d’horloges figées, et des enfants des travailleurs cherchant un nouveau lieu de transmission.

b0mb est une vidéo générative en ligne, différente à chaque visionnage et accessible via un site web dédié. Avec un rythme intense, elle présente un montage de plusieurs centaines d’images de toute nature présentes sur internet, défilant sur une bande son musicale où l’on entend la voix de Gregory Corso lisant son poème Bomb (1958). Déclaration d’amour à la plus terrible des technologies et métaphore de la nature autodestructrice de l’homme, le poème comporte une grande diversité de champs lexicaux lui conférant une dimension presque universelle. Figure de la Beat Generation, Corso cherche à produire ici une poésie où les phrases seraient absentes de perspective, construisant son texte via une juxtaposition de mots-clés les uns "contre" les autres. A partir du poème, les artistes ont alors effectué un travail de réduction d’écriture, de filtrage et d’interprétation, pour traduire son contenu en requêtes pour moteur de recherche tel que Google Image. Chaque image visible dans b0mb provient donc automatiquement du résultat d’une de ces requêtes, sélectionnée selon des algorithmes de popularité, et s’affiche de manière synchronisée avec le texte énoncé, par un montage au chemin de fer prédéfini. Si la durée et le son restent fixes, les images sont renouvelées à chaque visionnage, évoluant peu à peu dans le temps, au fil de l’actualité. La pièce se comporte telle un protocole automatique en ligne, puisant dans son environnement des visuels pour les donner à voir sous un autre jour le temps d’un instant. De par la grande diversité de sujets abordés dans le poème et la nature hétérogène des images (photographies amateur, publicités, cliparts, presse, différences de définition...), l’œuvre donne donc à voir une sorte d’instantané de la culture visuelle d’Internet. Par un enchaînement effréné d’images indifféremment anodines, belles ou terribles, elles rendent aussi compte de la violence qui peut s’en dégager.

Nés en 1984 et 1982 en France, Émilie Brout & Maxime Marion vivent et travaillent à Paris.

Ils seront également résidents en 2020 à la Kunsthal Gent en Belgique en 2020.

This project investigates the gestures of finance capitalism that were once used on the commodities trading floor. Through the production of a speculative instructional video, a commodities trader teaches an actor the gestures that capitalism both invented and made obsolescent.

In PALMERSTON BLVD., filmmaker Dan Browne invites the audience into the intimate space of his living room, in this portrait of a bay window recorded over the course of a year. Gradual shifts in the interior and exterior environments mark the passing of the seasons, a slow dance of objects and light juxtaposed by the rapid speeds of bodies and the urban landscape, revealing the processes inherent in all things. Meticulously constructed from over 250,000 images, PALMERSTON BLVD. offers an extended glimpse into the rituals of domestic life, demonstrating the uniqueness of everyday mundane activities. As time flows, we see the growth and development of the family’s first child, until eventually the home becomes an empty roomready to begin anew.

‘Goodnight’ shows nightly Rotterdam. A modern metropolis where light never dims and where loneliness unseen in the emptiness dwells. Someone stays awake to anonymously listen and talk, to encourage lost souls to a goodnight sleep. That does not always work. The night is patient, do not know what is happening, waiting for a new day.

Jasper Bruijns (b. 1989) grew up in Breda, The Netherlands, as one of an identical twin. At a young age he was interested in video and at the age of 16 he started a technical video study. During this study he moved to Stockholm for a period where he worked as an interim with video-artists as Johan Junker and Deniel Eslkils.
In 2010 Jasper applied to the art-academy St. Joost in Breda. There he studied under the supervision of filmmakers like Noud Heerkens, Marijke de Bie, Anne van der Putte, Iris Sikking and Rieks Soepenberg. He had the opportunity to experiment with film and to start developing his own filmmaking style. During his time in college he also worked at the production company Volya Films in Rotterdam with filmmakers as Stelle van Voorst van Beest, Ingeborg Jansen, Marleine van der Werf and Marco de Stefanis. The film Welterusten (Goodnight) shows nightly Rotterdam. A modern metroplis where light never dims and where unseen loneliness dwells in emptiness. Someone stays awake and anonymously listens, talks and encourages lost souls for a goodnight sleep. That doesn’t always work out well. The night is patient and does not know what is happening, waiting for a new day. With his short film Welterusten Jasper Bruijns did not only finish his studies succesfully but he also won the ‘TENT Academy Award 2014’ for best video art work for graduation students as well as the ‘Open Public Award’ . His work was nominated for the Tuschinski Award, the Dioraphte Award and the FPN Producenten Award. Welterusten has been screened at TENT, IMpakt, Open Plein Bioscoop and Nederlands Film Festival. 
At the moment Jasper lives in Breda where he works on his own films and as a documentary cameraman.

Conçu comme un voyage à travers le temps et les films, Salut & Fraternité retrace le parcours du cinéaste René Vautier en confrontant son témoignage à ceux d`autres cinéastes. Se posent alors les questions de l`engagement, du rôle du cinéaste et de ses films dans la société, de la nécessité d`un cinéma d`intervention sociale et de contre-pouvoir... avec la censure qui pointe son nez en permanence.

Vidéaste documentariste, je travaille également, depuis plus de dix ans, comme monteuse et productrice. J’ai réalisé deux documentaires avec et autour du cinéaste René Vautier : Salut et Fraternité (64’ - 2015) et Algérie Tours/Détours (Co-réal. Leïla Morouche - 114’ - 2008) Depuis quelques années, je m’oriente vers l’éducation à l’image et j`encadre régulièrement des ateliers de réalisation en direction du jeune public. Enfin, je travaille occasionnellement comme traductrice (italien > français) pour la Cinémathèque française.

Questionnement sur l`espace qui nous entoure, commment regarder, comment regarde-t-on ce qui nous entoure? La piscine contient de l`eau, cette eau est miroir de l'espace qui la contient.Le réel est-il reflet de la réalité, ou la réalité elle-même?

Les Lois de Non-Conservation est un projet artistique et curatorial sur les questions de temporalité, d`émergence et d`obsolescence, dans le cadre des circuits de production-distribution-consommation du capitalisme de réseau. Il s`intéresse notamment aux processus de consommation de l`art sur différentes échelles de temps, des plus courtes aux plus longues, aux durées de vie des ?uvres, à leurs pannes, leur disparition, leur réincarnation... à l`intrication entre observabilité et usage, entre sacré et profane. Il scrute des phénomènes mal identifiés, qui sont dans un no man`s land entre la pérennité de l`objet et le caractère éphémère de la performance, entre la déchéance de l`aura et sa résurrection. http://www.cosmolalia.com/non-conservation-laws Le dispositif se développe parallèlement avec le projet ArtWar(e), collaboration entre Christophe Bruno et le philosophe Samuel Tronçon. Artwar(e) est une plate-forme de « gestion des risques artistiques » dont l`ambition est de reformuler l`histoire de l`art, les attitudes performatives et relationnelles, ainsi que les pratiques curatoriales, en utilisant des concepts récents issus du marketing, comme les « courbes de Hype ». Artwar(e) a été produit avec l`aide de LES CAPUCINS ? centre d?art contemporain (ville d?Embrun) www.lescapucins.org (direction artistique Caroline Engel) dans le cadre du projet européen SMIR (eSpaces Multimédia pour l?Innovation et la Recherche en production culturelle) / programme Alcotra. http://www.artwar-e.biz

Christophe Bruno vit et travaille à Paris. Son travail propose une réflexion critique sur les phénomènes de réseau et de globalisation dans les champs du langage et de l?image. Primé au Festival Ars Electronica en 2003 pour le Google Adwords Happening, une performance globale sur le « capitalisme sémantique », et au Share Festival à Turin pour Human Browser, il a aussi remporté le Prix ARCO nouveaux media 2007 de la Foire d?art contemporain de Madrid, avec son installation Internet Fascinum. Il est lauréat de deux aides du DICREAM (Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication - Centre National de la Cinématographie) en 2004 et 2006, pour ses projets Dreamlogs et Logo.Hallucination. A partir de mars 2011 il sera commissaire d`exposition pour l`espace virtuel du Jeu de Paume. Il partage son temps entre ses activités artistique et curatoriale, enseignement, conférences et publications. Ses ?uvres ont été présentées internationalement dans de nombreux festivals, musées, galeries et foires d?art contemporain : Jeu de Paume à Paris, ARCO Madrid, FIAC Paris, Biennale de Sydney, Palais de Tokyo à Paris, MOCA Taipei, Musée d?Art Moderne de la ville de Paris, New Museum of Contemporary Art à New-York, Rencontres Internationales Paris-Berlin-Madrid, Biennale d?Art Contemporain de Tirana, HMKV Dortmund, Diva Art Fair à New-York, ArtCologne, Share Festival à Turin, Transmediale à Berlin, Laboral Cyberspaces à Gijon, galerie Sollertis à Toulouse, Gallery West à La Haye, Vooruit Arts Center à Gent, ICC Tokyo, Nuit Blanche de Paris, File Festival à Sao Paulo, f.2004@shangai, ReJoyce Festival à Dublin, P0es1s.net à Berlin, Microwave Media Art Festival à Honk-Kong, Read_Me Festival à Dortmund et Aarhus, Vidarte Mexico City? http://www.christophebruno.com

Based on Xavier de Maistre’s “Voyage autour de ma chambre”, it has been entirely shot withing a single room working at its relation to the camera, seen as another enclosed space. Between the camera and the walls, between the lenses and the window, between the furniture and the room, between a rock and a hard place. Some of the texts printed on the film: "I hope that I have made a film, a method [procédé]. Blue is also a method. [...] Cinema? Yes, it's a method. Red is also a method." (Marcel Broodthaers, Cinéma, p. 66) « …a thousand agreeable visions float before my eyes. Yes, there is that mansion, that door, that staircase! I thrill with expectation. / In like manner the act of slicing a lemon gives you a foretaste that makes your mouth water. / Poor animal! Take care! » (Xavier de Maistre, A Journey Round my Room, chapter XLII, p. 152 )

Bruno Delgado Ramo (Sevilla, 1991) is an experimental filmmaker, researcher and architect. Both his artistic and academic work focuses mainly on the moving image. He describes his often interdisciplinary work as research that is grounded in artistic practice. Dealing with materialistic site-specific cinema and the spatial questions involved in it, he works from a wide understanding of cinematic language.

A restless daughter meets a spirit who gives her pure water. Her family devours the delicious water until they begin to suspect more than the origin of its taste. A traditional folktale retold entirely featuring a cast of nonactors from one family made of three generations

Shirley Bruno's films draw from her Haitian heritage preserving and radicalizing her ancestral traditions and mythology. She creates modern myths that expose the slippery spaces between the material and metaphysical world, between collective memory and history. In her work she explores the everyday, the Sacred, and the intimate violence in the things left unsaid that mark us generation after generation. Shirley holds a Masters with Distinction from London Film School and a Masters II with Mention from Le Fresnoy - Studio National des Arts Contemporains where she was an artist fellow. She works alternately between New York, France, and Haiti.

The film focuses on the formation and representation of ideology, the position of the intellectual, and forms of re-presentation, actualisation of historical complexities. Galindez departs from the theatre play El Señor Galindez, written by Argentine psychoanalyst, dramaturge and actor Eduardo Pavlovsky in 1972.

Born in 1978 in Argentina, Diego Bruno lives and works in Helsinki. He studied History of Art at the University of Buenos Aires, holds a BA in Fine Arts from the Escola Massana, Barcelona and an MFA in Fine Arts from the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts.

Le DADAMETRE est un indice global permettant de mesurer l?écart du discours par rapport à Dada. En 1912, la pièce de théâtre Impressions d?Afrique de Raymond Roussel devient source d?inspiration directe pour Marcel Duchamp qui considère l?écrivain comme « un maître absolu ». La représentation est annonciatrice des futures manifestations Dada. Dans Comment j?ai écrit certains de mes livres Raymond Roussel explique : « Je choisissais deux mots presque semblables (?). Par exemple billard et pillard. Puis j?y ajoutais des mots pareils mais pris dans deux sens différents, et j?obtenais ainsi deux phrases presque identiques. (?) 1° Les lettres du blanc sur les bandes du vieux billard? 2° Les lettres du blanc sur les bandes du vieux pillard. (?) Les deux phrases trouvées, il s?agissait d?écrire un conte pouvant commencer par la première et finir par la seconde. » Cette méthode décrite par Roussel - bien que pré dadaïste - sera considérée ici comme emblématique de Dada dans le champ du langage. Aujourd?hui, alors que le moindre de nos comportements (travail, désir, idéologie, risque etc.) est enregistré et comptabilisé dans le cadre d?indices boursiers sur les marchés d?une finance globalisée, il s?agit de construire de nouveaux indices globaux, cette fois dans le domaine de l?art. L?indice DADAMETRE cherche à mesurer l?évolution au cours du temps de la densité de Dadaïsme dans le discours en mouvement perpétuel, tel qu?il est emmagasiné sur le Web, ceci en s?inspirant de Roussel. Objet artistique avant toute chose, étalon de la déchéance de l?aura du langage, le DADAMETRE, tout en étant basé sur des outils scientifiques rigoureux, constitue sa propre parodie : il vise aussi à interroger le statut d?une Science qui s?est mise peu à peu au service du marketing global et de la surveillance généralisée.

Christophe Bruno vit et travaille à Paris. Depuis 2001, il poursuit sur iterature.com un travail sur les phénomènes de réseau et de globalisation dans le champ du langage, considéré comme un readymade in progress. Iterature.com a été primé au festival Ars Electronica en 2003 pour le Google Adwords Happening et au Share Festival à Turin pour la performance Human Browser, initialement inspirée des Epiphanies de James Joyce. Le projet Dreamlogs, hommage aux travaux OuLiPiens de Georges Perec et Marcel Bénabou, a reçu une aide à la maquette du DICREAM en 2004. Christophe Bruno est aussi lauréat du Prix ARCO nouveaux media 2007 de la Foire d?art contemporain de Madrid, avec son installation Fascinum réalisée en 2001. Son dernier projet, Logo.Hallucination a également reçu une aide du DICREAM en 2006 dans le cadre des dernières Rencontres Paris-Berlin-Madrid. Son travail a été présenté internationalement dans de nombreux festivals, musées, galeries et foires d?art contemporain : FIAC Paris, ARCO Madrid, Diva Art Fair à New-York, Palais de Tokyo à Paris, ArtCologne, MOCA Taipei, Musée d?Art Moderne de la ville de Paris, Rencontres Internationales Paris-Berlin-Madrid, New Museum of Contemporary Art à New-York, Biennale d?Art Contemporain de Tirana, Share Festival à Torino, Transmediale à Berlin, Laboral Cyberspaces à Gijon, galerie Sollertis à Toulouse, ICC Tokyo, Nuit Blanche de Paris, File Festival à Sao Paulo, f.2004@shangai, ReJoyce Festival à Dublin, P0es1s.net à Berlin, Microwave Media Art Festival à Honk-Kong, Vooruit à Gand, Vidarte à Mexico City?

La dynamique économique de l`hallucination collective nous conduit-elle vers une privatisation du regard ? Le Web, notamment dans sa version 2.0, représente un aboutissement des stratégies de contrôle dans le domaine de l`écrit. L`image, elle, est plus difficilement interprétable par la machine et reste un territoire peu accessible. En témoigne par exemple l?essor de la stéganographie, l?art de cacher un message à l?intérieur d?un autre message, qui est utilisée sur Internet pour insérer des mots dans une image numérique, afin de contourner des dispositifs de censure automatisés. La reconnaissance de formes est un domaine en pleine expansion. Elle constitue une technologie clé dans les domaines de la sécurité, de la gestion des droits, du marketing... « Logo Hallucination » propose d`utiliser les technologies de reconnaissance d`images afin de détecter des formes subliminales de logos ou d`emblèmes, cachées (le plus souvent involontairement) dans l`environnement visuel ou dans l`ensemble des images de l`Internet. Les images trouvées seront accessibles depuis un weblog, proposant une mise en relation entre l?original d?une part et, d?autre part, la marque et son logo. Le tout fera partie d?une installation physique présentant l?ensemble du processus. "Logo Hallucination" s?inscrit ainsi dans le cadre du Web 2.0 dans la mesure où les données brutes (les images) sont enrichies par une information visuelle complémentaire (l?hallucination de la marque) et que leur juxtaposition participe de nouveaux enjeux économiques, ici pointés de manière ironique.

Christophe Bruno vit et travaille à Paris. Sa performance sur le "prix des mots" intitulée Le Google Adwords Happening a été primée au Festival Ars Electronica en 2003.

Images de la sphère privée du world wide web. "The video has been removed due to its inappropriate nature". (Sat, 03. Mar 2007 14:06:25 -0800, YouTube | Broadcast Yourself?)

"quinze Queer Crossover: on a demandé à des cinéastes lesbiennes de Berlin de tourner un court film de contribution sur leurs représentations de l'amour et du sexe entre gays - et à l'inverse, des cinéastes gays devaient tourner un film court sur la sexualité ou l'érotisme entre lesbiennes. "Dans sa contribution BLUE BOX BLUES, Michael Brynntrup montre clairement la différence entre le gestus illusionnant d'une photographie et de processus de fabrication de celle-ci." Au moyen de la reconstitution du processus de création d'une photographie qui montre un couple de lesbiennes tendrement enlacées et suggère la confiance et l'intimité, Michael Brynntrup réussit à démasquer les modèles stéréotypés de perceptions sur lesquels revient la mise en scène: le message contenu dans la photo est en éclatant contraste avec la mise en scène de l'image,banale et fastidieuse, réalisée par de nombreuses personnes dans l'atmosphère stérile d'un studio Blue Box . Ainsi, BLUE BOX BLUES devient le moyen de montrer, dans une optique de critique des médias, une structure de marché qui incorpore des ensembles de sentiments dans un processus industriel de dévalorisation.

"Le monde est tout ce qu'est une démonstration." Vivre à l'ère de la mondialisation - une étude de cas. (librement adapté de la première phrase de Tractatus logico-philosophicus de Ludwig Wittgenstein) Les études de cas demandent une méthode de recherche particulière. Plutôt que de se baser sur de larges échantillons et de suivre un protocole rigide afin d'examiner un nombre lmité de variables, les méthodes de l'étude de cas requièrent un examen longitudinal, en profondeur d'un seul exemple ou événement : un cas.

Just be glad it's not you combines texts sourced from various threads on the topic of narcissism from www.quora.com. Quora is an online forum for crowd sourcing answers to questions that vary vastly in subject matter and are often posted anonymously. Various self-proclaimed experts have listed accounts, definitions, and directives on the theme of narcissism. A selection of these texts are displayed in a synchronized installation across three screens, edited to appear in time to a specially commissioned hard techno track from sound designer Antoine Hureau, accompanied by an integrated LED light installation. This video, sound and light installation creates an environment of information overload that is reflective of the environment of information overload that we find ourselves in within digital culture, and within the wealth of language, accounts, opinions and stories that we find online. Walking a thin line between tragedy and comedy, the work contains an ironic sensibility, allowing complex and difficult issues to be addressed with a light touch.
