2006:
Instants proposition for the site of panoplie.org
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.

Exposition 'Je
veux, je voudrais', Domaine du Couloubrier, Grasse, France.
1997
'meeting
place' My first experience with the net.
The site was related to the exposition with the same title in the 'Hollandsche
Spoorweg' inNijmegen, 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 rather traditional overview of my installation work in
the past.
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.
"On the net we are all nomads, confronted to our status of 'stranger', isn't it?".
