Pragmatism
The extremes of conversion of visual dimensions, the abrupt telescoping of viewpoints and the instant shortening of distances have become a daily exercise in the technosphere.
Exit the technosublime, fascination with the medium and digital megalomania.
Gulliver in the eye of the Liliputians
The question remains: which solutions function on our scale? What should we put in the wires?
Gulliver in the eye of the Liliputians
Which images-sounds-words will go through these tubes? Who should I speak to? Who am I working with?
Gulliver in the eye of the Liliputians
JV4 has been constructed after pragmatic reflection: how should things be done? How should we produce ourselves, how should we work together? How should technology be used, without being used by it?

Disproportionate intimacy, a miniature public
Detournement and harnessing play cat and mouse
The stakes of technology have familiarised us with a paradox: tools that allow us
Detournement and harnessing play cat and mouse
to communicate are the by-products of spy systems, the webcam becomes democratic
Detournement and harnessing play cat and mouse
at the same time as the network of closed-circuit cameras for shopping centres.
Detournement and harnessing play cat and mouse
We now have to live with this paradox.
That is to say playing with (making use of) one's body
The explicit body of performance
How should one play with (make use of) one's body in the digital world?
The explicit body of performance
What is the value of organic presence as regards the machine?
The explicit body of performance
But also taming new bodies.
The explicit body of performance
What is the reality of virtual bodies? How do you mourn a foetus in 3D?
Idea of the outline as a true geography
Because, if they propagate words, the new media nevertheless remain stopping-off points in the indirect form
Idea of the outline as a true geography
Thus we can ask ourselves to what extent they modify words,
Idea of the outline as a true geography
And how they hawk these ideas of evaporation of identity
