    ‹subtitle›
    a pavilion created by Bérénice Serra & Fabien Zocco
    for the 5th Wrong Biennale. ‹/subtitle›


    ‹paragraph›
    Internet, conceived as a gigantic interlacing of signs in motion, presents itself as a multi-layered space where all types of languages (semantic, software, iconic, sound...) ― each reduced to an identical informational unit ― are vaporized, altered, dissipated. The artists invited to compose this pavilion assemble a series of propositions giving an overview of these semiotic mutations.

    with Ludovic Bernhardt, Diane Cescutti, Rémi Forte, Anne-Sarah Huet, Maud Marique, Cassandre Poirier-Simon, Coby Rae Crosbie, Bérénice Serra, Haythem Zakaria and Fabien Zocco. ‹/paragraph›

    ‹artwork› Night Music (CIA game) is a video circulation through the details of an 8x3 m wall board game, exhibited in Istanbul in 2021. The mural is a diversion and interference of an imperialist strategy game created by the CIA in order to train its agents: playing cards, maps, pawns, data, acronyms, military-political-economic objectives, etc. The video was produced with the collaboration of musician KAOSMOS and her atmospheric electronic experiments. ‹/artwork›

    Diane Cescutti ‹/artist›

    ‹bio› Diane Cescutti is a French transmedia artist. Her research-based practice takes as a starting point the loom at the origin of computation. She tries to consider through a speculative, fictional and narrative approach the augmented potentials of weaving. How to rethink the weave, this regular grid, no longer from a visual approach only but from the notion of textile territory? ‹/bio›

    ‹artwork› The house of threads is made of what is called "procedural texture", synthetic textures created from algorithms and mathematical manipulations. Each thread of the house becomes the expression of an applied language whose synthaxis can be altered ad infinitum, they multiply and change hues depending on the manipulation of the underlying code. ‹/artwork›

    Rémi Forte ‹/artist›

    ‹bio› Rémi Forte is a graphic and typeface designer, as well as an artist. His work lies at the intersection between contemporary poetic practices and typography. He is currently developing a practice-based research thesis entitled, Poetic Program, Typographic System, which is an examination of the tensions that exist between poetic writing, typographic composition, and typeface design. ‹/bio›

    ‹artwork› In his book While You're Reading, Gerard Unger states: “it’s almost impossible to read and look at the same time: they are different actions.” With Combinations, Rémi Forte questions this statement by exacerbating the tensions between reading and looking, between writing and typographic composition. ‹/artwork›

    Anne-Sarah Huet ‹/artist›

    ‹bio› Anne-Sarah Huet is an artist and poet based in Paris. She places writing at the center of her artistic practice.

    ‹artwork› A spiritualist privatisation of experience is part of a larger installation and narrative work on cryptography and concrete poetry, entitled Fat Finger — Gros doigts. Operating material digressions and conversions around the notions of digitality, replicability and typos, it offers a narrative and metaphorical treatment of contemporary encryption practices by summoning the themes of fortification and secrecy. Protected content is always light-hearted or fanciful, the whole forming what Anne-Sarah Huet calls a "crypto-fairy". ‹/artwork›

    ‹artwork› They say is a poem that takes the form of an eponymous file located on the online platform Google Drive. In this file are displayed four other files whose titles are potential continuations of the text. Each choice leads to new choices, revealing a labyrinthine architecture that invites you to get lost. As you progress through the maze, a version of the poem is composed. ‹/artwork›

    ‹artwork› "Let's go on an imaginary journey through a tool developed by the G of GAFAM, as a Giant Omnipotence Over the Globe. A tool that is fed by its eager globetrotter users, and that I have tuned my own way to write to you." ‹/artwork›

    Coby Rae Crosbie ‹/artist›

    ‹bio› Coby Rae Crosbie is a multidisciplinary artist and researcher. Her practice operates as a response to states of overstimulation. She engages the production of computer-generated elements, performing computation as a part of the language of poiesis, exploring the fields of cybernetics with a cognitive and perceptive lens. Her artistic research explores the use of knowledge as information, understanding becoming a tool for observation and comprehension. ‹/bio›

    ‹artwork› Waving back comprises a text generated each time the web page from which is operates is reloaded. The sentences are made by selecting words at random from an existing array. The use of first person subjects challenges the attributed role of the author and speaker, in an aim to give a voice to the automated cybernetic agent. This results in an ebbing and flowing of statements surrounding the language of understanding and meaning. ‹/artwork›

    Bérénice Serra ‹/artist›

    ‹bio› Bérénice Serra is a media artist and researcher based in Caen (FR) and Zürich (CH). She develops both artistic and theoretical projects that question the modes of conception, production and exchange of cultural forms in the digital age. By collecting user-generated images, designing hybrid books with the languages of the web and curating wild exhibitions with smartphones, she is essentially interested in the problem of publication — how contents go public. ‹/bio›

    ‹artwork› Gestural text entry keyboards, more widely known by their commercial names Swype or Swiftkey, allow writing by sliding a finger from the first to the last letter of a word on a screen keyboard.
    Swipe records these tactile choreographies to raise the gestural text entry method into more than a tool, namely a writing system in its own right. ‹/artwork›

    ‹artwork› Axis Mundi is the place where heaven and earth meet, and where divine and mortal communicate. A space from which the world is organized. Where a community finds meaning and direction, because this is where it can often perceive and interpret the signs of its destiny, that is, of its history. ‹/artwork›
