GALLERY PERFORMANCE
Sylvester and Katja just launch a new gallery in Gdanz _ Kolonia Artystów/Colony of Artists.
I presented a performance very intimated, just for 30 people. kind of improvisation with audio and visual. In the afternoon, I spent time with sylvester and we built a LCD platform with water and light sensor. The 20 minutes performance was influenced by this device connected to a reaktor patch.
LONDON //// MAY 18
Carmen and Estella from Alpha_Ville invite me at the great KING PLACES THEATER to perform DUST and INJECT. After the performances, I have a pleasure to have a talk with the audience. London is so a beautiful city. This time, I don’t know why, but I felt in love with this city, probably because, beside my own excursions, Carmen make me discover some districts I never went before. You will find beautiful pictures I take from an photography exhibition. What I like is the window reflections on the close-up faces. I don’t remember the name of this photographer, but if I find it, I will update the blog. There is some pictures that Justina Suminaite made of me for the magazine Rooms.
Cirkus in Slovenia

Electroni[k] friends
quelques photos du paparazi hermano de 2 des initiateurs du projet Kolgen-Electroni[k]. Elles ont été captés à la sauvette, puisqu’ils n’autorisent aucune photos d’eux.
Cyril en avant de la piscine St-Georges. Capté du restaurant d'en face.
La seule photo authorisée de Anne Burlot-Thomas. Le iPhone entre ses mains, devient un bouclier considérablement efficace contre les paparazzi.
La piscine St-Georges, elle, au moins, se manifeste aucune résistance _ malgré son statu historique. On reconnaît bien les vraies divas.
Et … caché derrière la caméra ::: Louis Bertin, un maillon important du projet.
BAD DAY
Yesterday, I missed my plane to France, I was thinking the departure was today. In the morning, I received a call from Anne, she’s waiting for me at the Rennes airport. Hum! What a shock for me. After dealing with Air France, I will flight tonight. At the time of this call, I was testing my controller for my residency at the Rennes Train Station.
