Artist Statement
'Internaut Rêverie' deals with the phenomenology of online screens and the hypnotic qualities of animated texts and their secret poor image texturality. I take lots of screenshots for research purposes and sometimes I get daydreamy flashes from self-recombining words in my phone's gallery. So these are some GIF-oriented chaos edits of the questions I ask myself at the end of the online day.
'Update on the Factories of Self' probes astral projection + assembly line + panopticon motifs in B&W that I have found online whilst exploring the second hand viral froth of the memetic unconscious :) The title is a response to Les Fabriques de Soi which is a small book that I wrote after my PhD dealing with similar topics in a more criitical academicky manner.
