Goodiepal is an artist and a musician willingly to share not only his art but his opinions about the creation in general: Contemporary thought is too contented with ordering the machine. Too rational, it falls asleep in defined codes, thus losing its utopias and hopes, losing the ability to surprise as that of being surprised, [...]

Louis-Cyprien Rials’ photographic project concerns modes of relation between theoretical abstraction and sensible procedures, with a special regard for artistic ones. His dynamic appears to be a way to provide a renewal of the classical–and arrogant–idea of photography as a medium independent from art practice, but rather to think the sensible, the sensible material of [...]
I’ve know Christophe Berlet for a couple of years. We don’t see each other often and mostly for very short moments of catching up, but I can tell that he not only intensified his vision, he has also developed a more and more complex relationship toward it.
