The Dadameter
Global index of the decay of the aura of language, the Dadameter aims at measuring our distance to Dada. It was inspired by the work of the french writer Raymond Roussel. The project is a satire about the recent transmutation of language into a global market ruled by Google et al. and uses the most up-to-date technologies of control to draw cartographies of language at large scale. It was co-produced by the Rencontres Paris-Berlin-Madrid 2008 for contemporary art and new cinema.

Logo.Hallucination deals with the question of privatization of the glance in relation to collective hallucination: an image recognition software based on neural networks, continuously monitors the images circulating on the Web looking for hidden logos, and sends cease & desist mails whenever a copyright violation is detected. The project wad conceived for the Rencontres Paris-Berlin 2006 and has received a grant from the DICREAM (Aide à la production - Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication - CNC).

Imagine that the history of the world was turned upside-down and that the historical characters who left their mark in our schoolbooks, were reincarnated as… artists. What works of art would they produce? WiFi-SM

The Google Adwords Happening: how a global happening on Google unveiled the Generalized Semantic Capitalism. LifeLife is an attempt to match the linearity of one’s life with the infinite dimensionality of the space of discourse. Here, Google is used as a non-local structure. SelfportraitSelfportrait is at the same time a Google hack and a hack of the piece by Valéry Grancher, selfportrait, which was the starting point of the Search Art project. Non-weddingsNon-weddings was inspired by a drawing by Jacques Lacan in “L’instance de la lettre dans l’inconscient”, as I realized that the Internet search engines had some similarities with this presentation (cf Google Image).
