MACHINIMA

Heroic Makers vs Heroic Land

Heroic Makers vs Heroic Land is a machinima documentary that I’m making from a game engine, photos taken in the Calais jungle and interviews with the residents from February 6-20, 2016. Notwithstanding, France’s Pas-de-Calais prefecture issued an expulsion order regarding the jungle’s south section that expired on February 23. The entire camp has been nicknamed the “jungle”, as this land was originally a hunting field, and the lack of basic support from the local authorities has transformed people into animals…

Bazin

Ce projet s’appuie sur la rencontre entre la danse et les machinimas, entre lesquels ce tissu particulier vient se glisser. Le tissu bazin brut, avant teinture, possède en effet des qualités physiques de réflexion lumineuse par sa matérialité comme ses motifs, qui en font une surface particulière de projection, surface sous laquelle le corps du danseur se cache en partie. Il est le lieu d’interaction entre la performance et la vidéo, elle-même hybridation entre séquences de machinimas – films conçus à partir de moteurs de jeu vidéo – prémontées et performance live de jeu vidéo.

C’est cette interaction menant à une une œuvre hybride qui nous intéresse, entre danse, jeu vidéo, performance interactive et installation visuelle et sonore.

Performances

Psychogeography – Data Vizualization – Emotional Mapping
Games – Game Art – Retrogaming
Neen

I am a Web Jay!! WJ-S is a project developped by Anne Roquigny
WJ-S is a software and a flexible public device for web performances allowing WJ-S to play live with text, sound and visual content available on line.

WJs take the control of a multiscreens environment and surf at distance in different browser windows simultaneously. WJ-S is a visible and collective experience of the surf. WJS is an immersive experience in the flux.

In 2007, Anne invited me to perfom with WJ-S for the Mapping Festival in Geneva. It was wunderful for me to have this opportunity to show net or game art in a different manner.

 

I have three different performances in WJ-s which I can perform alone or with a musician. A WJ-s performance immerses the audience in a subjective derive in web contents, it is like an immersion inside the content of a conference about net.art or game art. It changes our relationship to Internet that we are used to see on little screens and not immersed inside them…

I began to give some conferences while playing with the content. As I loved all the artists from the neen art movement, I did a conference/performance showing websites of Andreas Angelidakis, Mai Ueda, Mike Calvert, Rafael Rozendaal, Steven Schkolne, John White C, Nikola Tosic, Amy Franceschini de Future Farmers, Joel Fox, Marc Kremers and Angelo Plessas.

Wjs is a software developped by Anne Roquigny. We give workshops together to students or youngsters on how create a performance through live web surfing.

Les ateliers nomades 2010/2011 > WJ’s, mixer le web from lephenix on Vimeo.
WJ-S is new word, that refers to the idea of the DJ who play live music or the VJ – also called Video Jockeys – who are playing live video, synchronized with the music in parties. A WJ-S – web jockey – can play music, he can play video, he can play animation, text, sounds, because he is “playing” with all the online contents of the world wide web: he shows websites, online animations, online games, online videos, online texts…. The web jay has the whole Internet network in its hands and under its mouse to play with.
