I see the web as a platform bridging the real world to the virtual world. I wish to contribute to the tools required to bring the user experience further and make it more memorable. The web is in motion and constantly redefining itself. Therefore, the developer should always challenge himself by exploring new technologies.

The Web. So many toys, so little time. We're all kids in this ultimate playground. The planet though, is still not small enough. So much yet to discover and to forget. Lets shrink it some more for the global conversation. That's a journey I wanna be part of... one bug at a time.

Project : Elektra 9 / Interactive Sculpture Link: http://www.elektramontreal.ca/2008/ Client : Elektra — International Digital Arts Festival Agency: Provokat
Collaborator: Simon Laroche Technology : PHP, MYSQL, AMFPHP, FLASH, JAVA

This installation was made for the 9th edition of the Elektra, an International Digital Arts Festival presented in Montreal between the 7th and the 10th of May 2008.

It's a collective data sculpture that slowly grows each time a visitor expresses interest in a particular part of the festival. The resulting "stalagmite bar graph" gives an overview of visitor appreciation for each of the different portions of the festival.

The robot was custom built to drop pieces of tin depending on real-time user votes, while the image & sound from the sculpture is streamed live online for all to see.

The background is generated daily from random headlines. It is an attempt at synthesizing in one image and one sentence the news of the day. A work in progress.

Le fond est reconstruit chaque jour à partir d'articles ayant fait la manchette et choisis au hasard. L'expérience consiste à synthétiser en une phrase et une image l'actualité de la journée. Un travail en cours.
