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

More Sensitive is literally about increased
experience. Open up all your sensors, without leaving out the webcam and the microphone.
Then the experiment can begin : torn between the wish to see, to hear and the dizziness
to be seen, to be heard. Who else can receive my picture, my movements, my sighs, my voice ? Is there another
one ? An Other, undoubtedly. Is the
system only a stretched mirror, an additional trick from the network ? On which
scene this recording will be screened ? The subtle work of Carol Brandon seizes
your representation - insignificant, incriminating and with no destination - in
order to instil it in the recorded performance of another actor. The actor pays
no heed to time and gives life to the absents’ words. He is reciting the poignant
sonnets of Louise Labé, distant poetess. What part will you have taken in this
theatre of shadows, filled with evanescent faces. It is the secret of the engine,
chief architect of the infinite remix of here, elsewhere and erstwhile.

numérique), directed by Professor Michel
Bernard, member of the Hubert de la Phalèse Research Center at Paris 3
University. We will present our approach and suggest a discussion about the confrontation
between academic disciplines and digital culture. Do Art history, on the one
