SALON : DATA I >> Jason Roussel + Sébastien Pesot

For the first Data : Salon in the series' second year, Jason Roussel present "chalkBot" and Sébastien Pesot, "A Cappella." True to its mandate, Data : Salon is an opportunity to discover works still in production and to meet the artists to discuss their creative process.


CHALKBOT by Jason Roussel generates chalk drawings based on arbitraty, semi-random values. A tension, between the childish reference of the chalk and the strong geometrical, un-human composition, is left behind. CHALKBOT is a custom built vehicle using two servo motors and an Arduino. As the mathematical values change, the vehicle moves around the space, leaving behind a unique composition.

In A CAPPELLA, Sébastien Pesot questions the inherent difference between sounds which are integral to a language and those which reveal a certain musicality in the human voice. The video installation is composed of three television screens, each repeating a synchronized loop: the artist faces himself on opposing screens as he seems to entertain a cacophonic conversation with himself, bordering on song and whisper. The spectator hesitates between a desire to decode the incoherent sounds and accepting the pleasure of having encountered an intrinsic harmony.

Wheat Pasting #3

Unfortunately, the first two attempts at wheat pasting my neighborhood were promptly ripped down the next morning. Here is the third attempt, this time using an LED. (the end of the first fish's cigarette.)
