Hacktivists repaint the town green
Going well beyond the society of the spectacle, artists are reappropriating urban spaces by enchanting cities, alerting us to irresponsible behavior and publicly exposing the contradictions of an environment damaged by humans. Above ground, their works contrast with gray reality. Poetic and political, environmental hacktivism is ...

Art: Not the final frontier of gaming
As a critical and even subversive outgrowth of gaming, game art has infiltrated contemporary art, indie games and virtual worlds. It’s free, political and tenaciously experimental.
One thing is certain: without the viewer’s active participation, there is no “game art”. In order to write these words, I subject...

/ Who are you? Can you tell us in a few words what you have been doing these last few years?
Above all I’m a programmer and an engineer, having become an artist only of late. As a teenager in the 70’s, I taught myself how to program. As a student, I studied science in great depth, which led to me graduating as an engineer from Telecom Paris, and I put that training to use in the R&D departments of a number of different companies, including Act Informatique (Act Computer Science) in P...
/ Who are you? Can you tell us in a few words what you have been doing these last few years?
Michaël Borras a.k.a Systaime… a regular by-product of digital culture, the kind that re-shuffles our identity cards and our relationship to the world.

// You have been involved in network activities or netbased projects for many ye...
