What's new on the Observatoire critique's website ?

As every month, we are suggesting a new artwork and a new artist's screen to you.

Version Française

A wavy blue light unrolls gradually its oscilloscopic shape. The measure follows your computer’s activity or inactivity. The tree progresses and glitters, moved by the silent inscription of the signs. From this invitation to a journey (download the software) you will bring back the tracks of your drifts from one URL to another. The halts in navigation allow the words stored on the hard drive to mingle with the unlikely names of the web pages. No map, no territory, but a poetic tremor shaped by the unlimited sequences of characters. Already hard drives’ portraitist with MISMA ( Intervention Module for Backing up Artistic Methodologies), the 1.0.3 group pursues the seizing of the mental image of your computer without neglecting its haunting by the web.

It is the occasion to emphasize the importance attached by the Observatoire to these creations.  Read more...
