I work as multimedia artist since 1999. Growing up in a multicultural context in France, I always had this idea to build up a project combining art, new media’s education and working on social’s transformations. I am since my youth aware of the benefits of multiculturalism.

 

I always combine several mediums: from drawing to performance in the public space, video film, documentary and photography. This allowed me to catch the transformations of societies’ as much as giving the right form to each project. Working alone in the studio as artist is the first step of a creative process, and this step is essential. But I felt that this art project has to be a collaborative process: topics as “redefinition of a new constitution” needs to be collectively discussed. This project has to be open as much as it can, contributing dialogues, confrontation’s idea’s and constructive strategies.

 

 In this collaborative process, I see myself as generator of impulsions to get people being conscious about the context where they live and in which directions they would like to go. I will use my technical skills as much as my abilities to lead a creative process inside an educational frame to let participants to experiment and find in themselves the potential of their “own being”. I show respect for each sensibilities and I am always aware of the background of each participants.

 

My credo : “Learning by doing, practice is knowledge, experimenting is consciousness.”

 

I am experienced in the field of community art projects, knowing how interaction’s and psychological processes works inside a group of participants. My commitments in places such as Arlington Art Center Washington DC, Museum of contemporary art Schunck and van Abbemuseum in the Netherlands, Museum of contemporary art in Strasbourg, Bronx River Art Center in New-York among many others cities, high ‘schools, art schools in several countries allowed me to develop a certain vision about community art project and art and educational experimentations.

 

 My skills as filmmaker and editor is of course in this context a very important aspect. Knowing how media’s use information’s to “leads and influences” citizens’ opinions is crucial in our connected world and into the context of globalisation. My project is mean to connect people and cities with simple tools, commonly used by billions of people all over the world, but I add an extra factor by using technology more as ways to reveal the invisible psychological process between a group of people.

 

 This “revelation” is the essence of my intention.
