Performance Merging Internet and Physical worlds // :: webpage ::

Nathalie has made interactive bra and wig which allow her to trigger music from a myspace playlist and images from a Google search using the word “breast”. The bra and the wig are activated by a hand device creating a switch by electric conduction. She made a special performance out of her cybernetic outfit which becomes a corporal interface for web communication.

Process
The start of 2'7, the CD-R project took place during 31st august to 3nd september 2007 when Nathalie and Björn recorded and produced sound and visual material in 2' chunks in Paris and Sollefteå respectively, and a situation was created. These 2' sound seeds where then further selected and worked later in the fall of 2007 together in Brussels. The resulting 7 track then where put in rest over the winter to again finally be worked on in march 2008. This sound project and CD-R release is part of a project of 2'7 with both visual and net art components included to be presented later.

multimedia works

Installations. Internet art. Performing art. Mixed reality. Mixed media. Digital art. Process. Versions.

I use several media, I mix the genders. I m interested to experiment the process wich determine more or less the work. I include the process in the artwork. 
The process is plurial. The media are connected and can have a mixed aspect like : object, body, sounds, visual, gestures, words, algorythm, operation, earth, elements, architecture, popular pictures, datas pick up in Internet,...
I m interested how the identity, the body, the spaces now works with these multimedia process (social, avatar, 3D space, online ubiquity, visitors listenning or interaction). I dont fix in advance a big master plan because the transformation is included in the process, so I experiment myself or/and with people or a team for some of the projects, several versions/versus can appear inside via this processing and be presented.
