Simonsong (2024)
(Desktopsongs Cycle)
Single-channel video piece, 3’47
16:9 / HD digital file / color / stereo
A mockery of
technological hegemony in the arts, and particularly in the world of
contemporary music. In the most trivial representation of the digital
tool, up to 16 384 "mousists" (plastic mouse interpreters)
play virtuosos in the way of the child's game Simon.

Desktopsongs is a series of video pieces using a hybrid language, combining music, images, and digital interfaces. Inspired by the practice of desktop movie, these pieces are presented as computer songs. They are short forms, established according to a unilateral and satirical system, allowing the questioning of our relationship with contemporary technologies.
