Installation lors de Park in Progress - Citysonic International Sound Art Platform & Sound Art Festival à Mons, Belgique, septembre 2013
Pépinières européennes pour jeunes artistes Residency
16/03/2013
For Helix, I got chosen for a Pépinières européennes pour jeunes artistes Residency, at Transculures, Mons, with the support of Communauté française de Belgique.
Helix has two distinct parts: the first is an interactive sound installation and the second is a performance. After Sans Escalier, a piece for solo slinky with live electronics, after Installation sonore sur le slinky, in Montreal, in London, in Rijeka, in Oka in which sometimes more than thirty instruments made of slinkies were used for this site specific interactive sound installation and after Les Points, an audio-visual interactive installation in a forest, the next logical step is to create a site specific interactive work for slinkies with live electronics and projection/light. As for the second part, the installation will be played as an instrument during a unprecedented performance.
Extradite Me, I'm British
14/10/2012
Last Friday, I spent most of the afternoon refreshing Free Talha Ahsan Facebook page. Talha Ahsan is a British-born poet with Asperger syndrome who got arrested under the anti-terror law. He got arrested for some sort of involvement in a website. This website happened to have a server in USA. He never been there. (See the documentary about it here, see some news item about it here) After 6 years in British’s prison, without trial, Britain finally extradited him to USA.
This Wednesday, I was in Sheffield, for an improvisation gig. In my head, I was still refreshing that Facebook page: I expect more from contemporary UK. So, I decided to share this extradition with the audience, and to play it.

Arts Against Extraditions is a group of artists who promote and document artistic acts that call for an end to the unfair UK-US extradition treaty that was amended in 2003 in the panic, spin and diplomatic pandering surrounding the war on terror.
