Mon Algorithme à Moi

Un beau jour, alors qu’il scrolle sur son feed Instagratte, Benjamin rencontre son algorithme, un chat
géant aux couleurs néon. Pure réverbération de ses comportements, l’algorithme est une prison dorée,
qui le conforte dans ses croyances et finit par le priver de sa liberté de penser.


Mon Algorithme à moi est une fable contemporaine en forme d’odyssée psychédélique dans
l’espace virtuel des réseaux sociaux.

Video

I love animation, but it’s only one of the ways to create moving images. Video has been one of my core crafts, and it’s very funny to see how normal my 2009 video performances seem now that TikTok and Instagram have revolutionized media practices as they were defined by YouTube and Vimeo. My point was simpler though : i love to work with animation, and especially stop-motion animation.

Misionary Pose

Original soundtrack for Misionary Pose, animation short directed by Balazs Turai, Off the Air : Sex, created by Dave Hughes, Adult Swim.

Why is Sigmund Freud wearing a tarbush ? Why is your spaceship vaguely reminiscent of the shape of men’s genitals ? So many questions could be asked after watching Misionary Pose. The whole point is this tribe : they’re totally addicted to sex. And then, this narrative loop. Totally addicted to sex, too. The point was to create an orgasmic soundtrack for an erotic-feeling short, an eruption of good hormones driven by a looney/psychedelic sci-fi narrative.
