Translation

In our environment shaped by domestic technologies, our computers’ desk is identified with the space of our memory and its light-images are the mirror of our thinking in motion. Comparing its functional windows to quasi-neo-plasticism proposals and bringing out volume and material from this flat screen, I create utopian forms. I consider my monotype boxes as handcrafted and metaphorical translations of the thinking of machines that proceed by abstraction, geometry and programming — according to principles not so distant from those of Mondrian and Van Doesburg — I paint these built objects with the same attention to detail and in the same spirit as them. Absorbed in the screen of our computers as our ordinary office landscape, it is now necessary to domesticate these hybrid forms by learning to live in harmony with them.

My recent monotype boxes broadcast intermittent mechanical sounds mingled to the human voice. The sound is in the box evokes this autonomous bionic presence of our own becoming machine.
