How Logo.Hallucination idea was born?

Up to now many of my work were dealing with questions of language and globalization, commodification of speech (http://www.iterature.com/adwords) etc., and I felt that I had to move more deeply towards a field closer to the question of the image, but in relation to similar questionings.

1.*
Your ‘Google Adwords’ was one of the first works that showed the paradox of the ’semantic capitalism’ (as you defined it), that is at the core of Google business. You also defined as “taylorisation of speech” the “control and spectacle of words used in Google”. So in your opinion the Google real potential is administering the largest online semantic capital?

Interview - WMMNA

March 6th, 2006

Christophe Bruno is a French net-artist (yes, like in net.art) based in Paris. His mostly web-related work deals a lot with questions related to language and has been widely shown. He gained a lot of recognition for his “AdWords-Happening” with which he has won a honorable mention at the 2003 Ars Electronica. He’s had his first solo-show at the gallery Sollertis in Toulouse and recently he was invited to Transmediale 06, where his “Human Browser” attacked the unsuspecting art-crowd with her googled ramblings. Being so prolific and funny, it’s about time that we take a closer look at Monsieur B!

You can’t copy me!

February 1st, 2003

You can’t copy me!, text published on Rhizome.org. [link]

Like many people, I like the idea that www is a place where duplication has no limit. Anybody can download a media and re-use it. Sometimes you are faced with legal problems, this is part of the game. But also, I like the idea that there are things you can’t copy.
