Whether it’s videos or online pieces, small applications or sound installations, the artworks of Grégory Chatonsky are committed to revealing what we don’t see, or what we no longer see, to capture the traces and dig out the rhizomes, all the while being anchored in reality, in urban and human geography… Image, still or animated, and flow (technological, corporal or physical)...

How did you conceive "Fragile Territories"? On which technical and conceptual basis...

Strange feeling when slipping between the black curtains that block the great hall of the Lieu Unique in Nantes: a mix of curiosity, excitement, but also anxiety… This is the first time we are faced with Fragile Territories, a tentacular installation by Robert Henke. We already knew some of his earlier, smaller devices (Transition machine, Traffic, Cyclone) that primarily relied on video and audio interactions. Here, the prime materia...
Pioneer—this is the term most often used to describe Fred Forest in the playing field of media arts. Two more words form another refrain: “network” and “territory”, like the X and Y axes of his artistic activity. This practice is rooted in the last century, as he began by “trafficking” images and paper, and then progressively annexed every mode of communication, from video tapes to virtual worlds.
Born in the pre-television era (in 1933 in Mouaskar, A...

You were one of the co-founders of Ars Electronica in 1979. What were your thoughts as you were conceiving this first festival dedicated to electronic arts?
We weren’t thinking 30 years ahead, but we thought the scene of art, technology and society -- the subtitle of Ars Electronica -- would consist of the future. This was from the very beginning. The name didn't change, and the subtitle didn't change. My boss, Hannes Leopoldseder, whom I think is the real founder...

Presented at the Carpenters Workshop Gallery, the exhibition Before The Rain by the creative studio rAndom International broadens our perspectives on behavioral, technological and purified human representation.
Situated at the crossroads of kinetic art and interactive installations, the seven-year-old London-based creative studio rAndom International has already dug deep into the nuances of human representation in artworks relating to movement, light, and strong yet often minimalist esthetics...
Benjamin Gaulon is an hacktivist artist. Nicknamed Recyclism, he denounces the planned obsolescence of our objects by enabling them to enjoy a second life with as components of his installations. Two of his artworks are currently exhibited in Paris.

INTERVIEW WITH TEHOS
Why did you choose art to express yourself?
This is a natural way to express my thoughts and my feelings. The field is wider (I think) with speech, limited by the words, certain emotions have difficulty beings transcribed language, it’s easier for me with pictures, with a mink.
Since when do you paint?
Since forever, but it is 40 years since I decided to stop everything and devote myself fully, I did not want to risk getting to the end of my life telling me t...
