As a curator, my goal is to merge political, social and artistic issues around the question of games, which is eminently symbolic and political... and to promote alternative and artistic uses of video games, I’ve organized a number of 8bit music and chip tunes concerts, produced on Gameboys; and, for almost 5 years, I’ve been showing films
designed with video games, still called Machinimas. The point is to prove that it is possible to transform an object of mass consumption into a means of expression.

Enter the void, le film à voir

Enter the void,

Le film que devraient voir tous les graphistes et gens qui travaillent dans l'image. Un film d'une richesse visuelle intense, qui se joue à la troisième personne. Comme la vision subjective des jeux vidéo, comme un esprit qui vole au dessus de la ville, comme l'enfant qui va téter sa mère. Comme les hommes que l'on suit dans Elephant d'Alan Clarck, et les corps tombent, mais les esprits s'élèvent. Comme dirait Anne Roquigny, Gaspard Noe est connecté, il est inspiré et ses inspirations sont multiples.

Visons psychadéliques, visions sous psychotropes, rarement un film aura vu aussi juste dans le rendu d'une vision brouillée, où les formes s'estompent pour laisser la place à des flous, des couleurs, des images qui se brouillent, se mouvent et vibrent.
