To be part of
it… What is simpler ? I am your friend ! At what cost ? The price of the click
! Would it be enough to sustain the delusion of universal communion ? The
radical nursery rhyme, hummed by the robot pictogram lowers the aggregate from
which the simpler networked social instinct proceeds. From the relationship
economy of the web, Nicolas Frespech makes a counter saving. This time, I am your friend... is played off
balance : the gates have been shut again where the unutterable words were
pouring, inaudible for the AUTHORITIES which interpret everything literally. Eagerly
waiting relationship configurations in perpetual invention, Nicolas Frespech’s eye
has decided on the MySpace and other Facebook , civilized systems making a urbane
friendness, to doubt the overcelebrated reunion of the intimate self and the
social self. But the exercise is worth as a final slap in the face of the censors....

Electric Sheep is a free, open source screen saver
created by Scott Draves. It's run by thousands of people all over the world,
and can be installed on any ordinary PC or Mac. When these computers
"sleep", the screen saver comes on and the computers communicate with
each other by the internet to share the work of creating morphing abstract
animations known as "sheep". The result is a collective "android
dream", an homage to Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric
Sheep? Anyone watching one of these computers may vote for
their favorite animations using the keyboard. The more popular sheep live
longer and reproduce according to a genetic algorithm with mutation and
cross-over. Hence the flock evolves to please its global audience. You can also
design your own sheep and submit them to the gene pool.
