Space Invaders n. pl. A nickname given to the transposons responsible for injecting reptilian and amphibian DNA into mammalian genomes 15 to 46 million years ago. We have good reason to dread the return of the virus-borne gene reprogrammers—their first appearance coincided with mass extinctions.”

“Kontaktschmelze (contact fusion) is the first work using our concept of the ‘boolean camera’. To make use of 3d cg space in a uniquely digital way, space is not cut by a projection of a plane onto a 2d screen anymore: instead, we ‘look’ through the cutting shape of a 3d object to realise the shape of another.
It also employs a remix concept that could be called ‘database modeling’: no modeling has been done, all 3d objects have been downloaded from free resources on the web.”

“Un chassé-croisé de lieux, en trois mouvements de caméra qui révèlent le détail de ces lieux et les actions qui s’y déroulent, mais aussi qui démantèle la logique avec laquelle nous les percevons.”

Protrude, Flow (2001) (Detail), in collaboration with Minako Takeno

auto suggestion is a screen based, real-time visualization of the processing of a database of paintings. The work incorporates the full text of Baudelaire’s one surviving notebook “Journaux Intimes”1, 65 hi-resolution scans of paintings that I made during the decade 1989-1999 (at which point I stopped making paintings) …The system takes as its seed Baudelaires prose and runs it through text analysis in turn determining the selection of various areas of color and shape, then recombines them in infinite variations and iterations.”


“You put a record on, and it’s like all the edges disappear. You’re in a psychological space. You don’t sit there thinking about the music, you’re listening to the music. You’re inside that space that the music’s making for you.” Jim Lambie @ SMFA, Boston
