Karaoke
: "Resurrection karaoke for the humiliated" or "Test to
predict potential aggressive behavior" (flash, sound on)
This is a sound piece with images of a women on the ground in front
of a freezer. The visitor is invited to sing the text that scrolls over
the screen. Closing the window of the work will lead the visitor to a page
where he is asked to contribute in a collaborative text about violence.
The sound is the result of loading the same mp3 several times and so
will be slightly different on different machines. Original sound : daccord.mp3:
http://www.bram.org/sound
I am aware this is not an easy work. The visitor will have to be able to
listen till the end if he wants to be freed of the image of the suffering
women. He can also choose to karaoke it and so actualise the resurrection
enacted in the text. Closing the window might be like refusing to be implicated
in the woman's story and will put the visitor in front of a question about
violence.

'rassur'
'Being human' is about communication with the other via the net. This other
person that one doesn't know at all, but that should resemble you somewhere
and so, will need some reassuring every now and than too. For 'rassur' I
asked people to reassure an unknown other. The greek part of 'rassur' was
made during the medi@terra festival in Athens. (realvideo) |

Start
'being human' Most of
my work is included in this site. It's a big interlinked universe that concentrates
on the possibilities and limitations of communication on the net. So most
works with a special entrance will automatically lead you to the other works.
The site is based on the idea that the internet is an artistic medium that
permits addressing people in their own intimacy, non-mediated by an art
context. The work treats about questions of identity and discovering the
other in his differences. The pieces invite visitors to express wishes,
to get rid of pains, to receive comfort, to reflect on understanding, respect
and his/her relation to the machine.
I am exploring the new identity and relational territories established on
the net. By creating scene dialogue and emotional situations, "Being
Human" leads the net surfer to wonder about the various communication
rites which reveal and draw each of us into a new cartography of our contemporary
being. |

'meeting
place' My first experience with the net.
The site was related to the exposition with the same title in the 'Hollandsche
Spoorweg' in Nijmegen, Pays Bas. It was a way to be present in the exposition
place in Holland while being physically in the south of France. One of the
elements of the site showed a traditional overview of my installation work
in the past.
