TWWAFIFAWW

"Machine Learning" and "Computer Vision" are used today by governments, start-ups or other institutions to rid Man of his opacity, making him understandable and predictable. TWWAFIFAWW transposes the use of oppressive technology in the service of a collective utopia.


Above Us : The Orbital Trashoshpere
This piece, is a real-time and sound map of the satellite activity located above the installation in real time. It reveals as much the invisible, as the technological waste that our society creates and uses to be able to live in the comfort that it appreciates so much. This installation is an analytical concept, listing the objects present above it to lead the viewer to question their number and their origin.

Light as a Cloud

Based on a study that emits a trend on the weight of the Cloud from 2013 to 2020 considering the rise in storage services, mercantile trends, and the massive arrival of connected objects. “Light as Cloud” transforms the weight of the person standing on this scale into Gigs, to display the weight that falls to him in the digital space.


Account Party - Nils Michelutti

- Max/MSP - Syphon - MadMapper "Ce projet prend place dans une ère où l'humain vaut moins que les données qu'il génère. "Account party" met en relief les créations de comptes sur les réseaux sociaux; Fêter (fêtez ? fêtons?) ces créations qui engendrent plus de données et donc plus de contrôle sur nous par les entreprises qu'elle représentent" - Nils Michelutti For this project, I createad a Max/MSP patch linked to MadMapper to help Nils Michelutti achieve is idea.


Sauce Festival - Res.

For the sauce festival that was banging in the "Zoo" at the Usine (Geneva - Switzerland), i did a VJ residency with [NIMY](https://www.instagram.com/nimy_visuals/). We created more than 5 hours of original visuals that would fit the scenography of the collective [NOIR MATERIK](https://www.instagram.com/noirmaterik/).


The Only Way To Reverse Climate Change
Today, we can only note the impossibility of our Western capitalist and productivist society to become aware of the finiteness of resources. And, all this, despite the media tumult and the erection of Greta Thunderberg into an icon, allowing the re-promotion of ecological issues, while exacerbating the generational divide today illustrated by the very famous "OK BOOMER". Therefore, a question arises, how is it possible to get people to think about ecology in the world of technologies?

Two Waves - Awareness

Generative sketch made with Processing to design the Cover of the EP of TwoWaves. Edit 2019 : He still didn't release the EP... sigh...


Paraph' - Hik & Nuk Festival

I had the opportunity to conceive and visually dress the performance of Paraph' at the (link: http://www.hiketnunk.ch/ text: Hik & Nunk) festival in Monthey. It was composed of two wood panels in portrait where were projected multiple video created only for this show.


Mirage Festival

This summer was filled with evening VJ, that day, I accompanied visually Two Waves, a talented producer of electronic music, during a concert taking place in the middle of Monthey (VS - Switzerland) in an ephemeral place.
