We are living through one of history’s swerves. Over the past decade billions of people have hooked themselves up to the Internet via the computer and more recently mobile devices.
This communication revolution is now extending to objects as well as people. Object-to-object communications has been long predicted, but has always seemed to be perched safely on the horizon. Now it is rushing into the present. The so-called Internet of things (IoT) is, after the modern computer (1946) a...
One can regret that nowadays the relationship between Art and Science appears to be limited to the use of new digital technology in the production of Artworks instead of questioning our vision of the world. But what is the reality of a dialogue that has never paused to strengthen itself in recent centuries? Which are the networks that stimulate the Art-Science interogation today?
Decoding of the world
What is the link between the artist Joep Van Lieshout, the astrophysicist Jean-Ph...
Internet is usually presented as an utterly dematerialized universe bound to infiltrate the reality of the physical world in a quasi-immanent way. This idealized vision of the network, however, seems to be a fantasy far from the reality of a disembodied heterotopy. Indeed, the existence of Internet is highly dependant on the traditional industry, which provides the physical framework to ensure the storage, management, transmission and diffusion of the information the Web is made of.

The emergence of new technologies redefines Man’s relationship to his environment in the same way that the invention of perspective in the 15th century placed Man, and not God, in the centre of creation(1). We are increasingly close to the technologies we invent and they have acquired considerable influence over our beliefs and symbolic relationship with the world: "Since the industrial revolution, and with unprecedented acceleration, technology has become a factor of civilisatio...
French-born 27-year old interaction designer Mikael Metthey, harnesses his profession's very specific procedural mechanisms, to produce artworks which investigate the development and interaction between new technologies, science and design. It is an equation of relationships in which human behavior each time embodies the unpredictable and unavoidable variable, which defines each result.
Concretely, Mikael Metthey's artistic practice consists in the creation of interaction design pro...
Robots and Avatars was launched in November 2009 with a Forum at NESTA (National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), attended by an international group of 80 experts, professionals and young people in London.

Introduced at Berlin's February Transmediale, Coïncidence Engines, by the Quebecois [The User], with its 1240 radio alarm clocks — beyond its obvious homage to Ligeti’s metronomes — provides an interesting perspective on working in a duo. With the diversion of their materials, via the prism of new technologies and the new social relations they create, and the poetic overlapping of structure, space and sound, the aesthetic and exploratory universe of [The User] has discovered an i...

Walking the Edit is an innovative system to “walk a movie” : your recorded walk will be translated into a movie through an iPhone app'.
It’s great that videos, pictures and other data can be geolocalized thus creating an ‘augmented space’. But we are left to wonder… how can we turn this abundance of information into a story? Can we build a narrative with all this geolocalized information? How can we make a visit to this augmented space a more coherent and enriching exp...
