Encounters occur, sometimes coincidences, even incidents...

Translation, an exhibition featuring French artists Grégory Chatonsky, Reynald Drouhin, Marika Dermineur, and Julie Morel, questions the deep ambivalence in the digital. On our screens and in our existence, digits 0 and 1 translate our sensations into images, texts and sounds. From identical elements, have emerged a complex perceptive web.

Incidence / teaching in new media: Hypernarratives / Eleanor
A visual presentation by artist Reynald Drouhin.
Using an image search engine and your request Drouhin serves up a grid of 100 thumbnails. Each is linked to the page where it is found (although the interface does not, intentionally I'm sure, provide a way to follow the links). Clicking on an image opens up a larger, force-fit version in the bottom frame of his grid. While his engine seeks images that correlate to your chosen word, the idiosyncratic naming conventions employed by all the individual web authors out there result in surprising juxtapositions of images. This interface is intended to present those juxtapositions as an evolving visual narrative of sorts; its goal is not to be a "useful" search engine, although with minor adjustments, it could be used as one.

Reynald Drouhin / Artthrob
Paris-born Reynald Drouhin works with digital material (net and video). As curator Pierre Bongiovanni has observed, his works are "patient, discreet, enduring and clever". To top this they are also cheerful and light. His plunder/ collage style is best highlighted in Des Fleurs, a project which uses data culled from about 400 sounds, words and images. His latest project, Incidence, is less easy to engage but nonetheless worth exploring. The project uses an image search engine, available resources on the internet and your requests to create some unexpected encounters.
