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.

The Gnozo Show

The Gnozo Show is a post-internet and post-irony mockumentary-based talk-show performance and web-series created in 2018 by Benjamin Efrati for the Talk Show Festival at MoCo Panacée, curated by Nicolas Bourriaud.

The web-series, featuring MiracleNu Collective members, was aired from April 2019 to February 2020.

As Gnozo, I also created several Synthpunk albums.

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.
