Art is in the heart of all our spaces of life's connexion network. Any methods can meet there to entwine because everything is contained in the reality of the world. What we see and hear in these documents is that the putting together of all these phrases, of all these sounds, of all these images and all these actions naturally take us in an infinite perspective because all these visual and sounding signs are to be seen as surfaces without beginning nor end, maybe those of the world in which we are.

... WALKER, a performance may 13 2009 (03'04)

C'est un extrait qu'on entend ici de la performance donnée le soir du vernissage de l'exposition WALKER à l'Ecole Normale Supérieure Lettres et Sciences Humaines de Lyon. La soirée vernissage devient la performance. Les bruits de fond des films qu'on voit dans le film Walker In The Universe, A Global Work additionnés à ceux produits en direct par le public présent produisent une surface sonore sans début ni fin. La performance perd son aspect spectaculaire pour s'intégrer à la vie présente dans la soirée. C'est le bruit de fond du monde qu'on entend comme une tapisserie sonore à l'image de la partie tapisserie papier de l'installation.

.....Sound surface for mobil phone May 13 2009 (08'10)

(voir ci-dessus). Cette surface sonore est un enregistrement diffusé de 2 façons par15 performers qui ont la liberté d'agir ou de ne pas agir. 3 actions composent la partition de la performance: les performers vêtus de blanc marchent au milieu du public présent tout en participant à la vie de la soirée. Les performers diffusent sur leur téléphone portable audibles seulement lorsqu'ils passent à proximité du public des sons capturés sur les films. Les performers quand ils le veulent font entendre à très fort volume sur 2 systèmes audios des "flashs sonores" capturés sur les films.

.....Walker In The Universe, A Global Work, Film 1 2008-2009 (16'21)

Tous les lieux que nous traversons méritent notre attention. Ce travail poursuit grâce aux possibilités d'échanges par internet les projets d'oeuvres par satellite dessinés en 1979 et 1980. Aujourd'hui le Walker continue sa marche sans limite au fil des années.En mai et juin 2009 l'installation WALKER rend compte de ce travail pendant 6 semaines dans le Forum et la Galerie de l'Ecole Normale Supérieure Lettres et Sciences de Lyon, France.

.... The Webcamings 2007, 2008 )
The "Webcamings" an interactive work on the Internet resent themselves as a surface of very small films of 30" each added up on a grid over a course of years. In each film the artist speaks of many things which may occupy his thought and which can of course all be mixed together : you can listen to these films one by one so as to hear the artist's words or else by adding them as you please in order to make up a very aleatory and free concert of voices. You then get a sound surface where the meaning to understand is replaced with the experience to live for the visitor who is conducting it, it's always the idea of the work like a score which can be at each interpretation always revisited.
.. Moment Z ( February 16 2007 ) 12'46
"Moment Z" is presented as a performance for 9 performers, 2 sound brodcastings and videoprojection in the "Some Places And Their Moments" exhibition. While circus artists Amaury Jacquot creates a route by evolving on a suspended bars dispositive, the 8 other performers, who are also collaborators responsible for the original set up then changes of the installation, each realizes a double route free in its order but pre-set in the its stations and actions amidts the installation: each performer does an action with an object used on the building site per station. The resulting sound of these actions is superimposed to the broadcasting of of a recording got by superimposing all the sounds and voices of all the work's days on the building site the installation with that of a running water's recording, like that of the Saône and the Rhône rivers which join each other nearby. A videoprojection shows the bulding site of the installation in its different moments. The performance presents to be seen and heard the life of the building site which installed itsellf in this disused warehouse for two weeks during the winter of 2007, maybe a moment of the building site of the universe just at this place on Earth.

... 3mn ( 1976 )
"3mn" is the tape-recording of a music got by recording brief instants of diverse sounds the beginnings and ends of which are erased so as to juxtapose them. We then get a layers-of-sound effect without beginning nor end, no part of which is maybe more interesting than another. This work now lost remains the first work that started it all even though one can no longer listen to it now.
