Français -English. Nicolas Frespech is a French artist born in 1971. He has worked with the World Wide Web since 1996, and taught net art at Paul Valéry University between 2002-2005. Since 2009, he has taught digital practice at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Lyons. His varied projects combine to form a work that touches as much on identity and its virtual and commercial standardisation, as on the concepts and phenomena of intimacy, Webcams and digital surveillance, media, games, or fiction. His best-known online work remains "Je suis ton ami(e)...tu peux me dire tes secrets" (I'm your friend; you can tell me your secrets), which was the first work of Net Art to be acquired by a public institution (FRAC Languedoc-Roussillon), in 1998. However, access to the project has been forbidden since 2001, provoking a debate on the presence of contemporary net art in the virtual and public space of the internet. In "I'm your friend," you could scroll through secrets sent in by internet users or gathered from public artistic projects (Contemporary Art Days organised by the Ministry of Culture and Communication). Frespech chooses to explore the internet because of its interpersonal and artistic qualities, playing with the paradoxes of the network and creating micro-creations that criticise the commercialisation of the internet. He continually questions net art by creating ever new experimentations, particularly in the realm of mobile telephony.
