Maxime Le Moing respire à Metz (France). Depuis 10 ans, il est embauché à temps plein en tant que promeneur écoutant. Affilié à la pratique du maraîchage et de l'écriture sonore, il œuvre dans la radio, la poésie sonore, la performance musicale néo-animiste et le mash-up pour les oreilles. Ses créations sont ponctuées par les saisons: en hiver, il anime auprès du jeune publique des ateliers de poésies lettristes en leur enseignant le beat box; au printemps, il enregistre le son de la photosynthèse des plantes et élabore une thèse intitulée "La nature préfère la harsh-noise que la musique classique"; en été, il vagabonde avec sa trompette et sa mallette de bruiteur pour réanimer les espaces morts de la capitaloscène; en automne, il aménage des ronds-points, friches et petits bois pour remettre au goût la libre errance des rencontres sexuelles.

Echoed in a memory-laden house are daily conversations between a mother and her two sons, all seemingly asleep. This autobiographical short, in a hybrid form, chronicles a personal memory from director Le Ngoc Duy's adolescence, using set design and reenactment to reconstruct his childhood home and featuring his mother’s voice as part of the cast.
LE Ngoc Duy (b. 2000) is a Vietnamese filmmaker and a member of A Sông Collective from Danang City. He was trained in filmmaking workshops by doc cicada and New Asian Filmmakers Collective in Cambodia. His works explore the subjects of family and homeland memories, queerness, and young adulthood, often set against historical backdrops and blending nonfictional and poetic elements within fictional narratives. "The House That Stays", Duy’s debut short film, was an official selection at Kaohsiung Film Festival, ZINEBI International Festival of Documentary and Short Film of Bilbao, Uppsala Short Film Festival, and Jogja-NETPAC Asian Film Festival. Currently, he is organizing and co-programming the Cinema Con Nha Ngheo project in Danang.

The film Yumeji (Pathway to dreams) has been shot during a workshop of the resident artists of the Pavillon, a creation lab for the Tokyo Palace in Japan in May 2004. This is a collective movie which summarizes both the experience of the exhibition in Hiroshima and of the trip. It is an interactive film. Its tree view allows the passage from the collective film to individual dreams imagined by each artist.
Le Pavillon is the laboratory of creation for Tokyo´s Palace in Paris. Students for the year 2003-2004 were Ziad Antar, Louidgi Beltrame, Davide Bertocchi, Sophie Dubosc, Johannes Fricke Waldthausen, Shiho Fukuhara, Agnieszka Kurant, Gerald Petit.

An exhibition of HD video, digital print and text by Barcelona based artist Joan Leandre. As the second Gallery exhibition in the artist?s extensive history, In the Name of Kernel ! The Magic Line is the third installment of the In the Name of Kernel series, introducing Leandre?s critical practice of media interpretation and reverse engineering to a new audience. The first two films of the series toured internationally to venues such as Sonar Festival, Barcelona 2008, 3rd Moscow Biennial, Moscow, 2009, and Centre George Pompidou, Paris 2009.

?In the Name of Kernel ! The Magic Line? is the third installation of the ?In the Name of Kernel series?, introducing Leandre?s critical practice of media interpretation and reversing engineering to a new audience. ?In the Name of Kernel ! ? gathers his last videos in an open cycle. They offer to the viewer a complex narration in which he can decode the mechanisms of the fascination for technology to which we are usually subjected, such mechanisms, that will then condition our perception of the world. In that sense, the work of Joan Leandre is quite subversive. In this installation, the kernel, which is at the heart of most computer systems, becomes the myth around which a symbolic event coagulates. It combines travel literature, the alchemy tradition, science fiction, terrorism and conspiracy theories, computer programming, mountain climbing, 3-D modeling, satellite mapping, hallucinations and revelations. Joan Leandre explores the troubled imagination of a fundamental principle of computer science, without regard for its potential uses, be they military or dreamlike. The image itself, which is created by manipulating computers, changes its status. Along with the images, the blind power of the Kernel appears, the kernel in whose name all technological usages become possible.
Joan Leandre lives and works in Barcelona. He is media interpreter and member of the OVNI Archives (Observatoire de Vidéos Non Identifiées). since 1994. From 1994 to 1996 he worked on a series of media interruptions called ?MAP? (Mega Assemble Project), ?Fundación Zero? and ?Serial Monuments?. From 1995-1997 he was involved in the Oigo Rom project, and later in 1998 in Brooklyn he was involved with the President Archives. In 1999, he began working again with mass entertainment software and started the projects ?Retroyou (RC) and retroyou (nostalG)?, and continues to work on the series ?Retroyou nostalg2? and the ?Black Boot Project?. Other collective projects include Velvet Strike and the Archivos Babilonia. Since the begining of the 90ies, Joan Leandre is a media interpreter, an Internet archeologist. He make permanent excavations and collects data. He archives numerous datas that have been ?forgotten?, on a corporate site for example, or, contrariwise, data that have very short apparition before becoming confidential or outdated in terms of technologies. Going further than the apparent usability of such or such interface, he tries to create a state of consciousness concerning what the machines are able to make us do because of our ignorance and the power of the ideological conditioning on our understanding of the real today due to the new images. Since 2006, the work of Joan Leandre lies essentially on the analysis and the deconstruction of games, simulation or military training softwares. His work has been shown at the Sonar festival, Barcelona, at Transmediale, Berlin ; at the Whitney Biennial in the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, at the Laboral Centro de Arte Contemporaneo, Gijon, at the Moscow Biennale, at the ZKM, Karlsruhe.

"The Dr Strangelove of computing, Leandre loves the bomb and knows its mechanisms well enough to transform them instantly into the workings of a multi-layered ambiguous narrative, esoteric and seductive at the same time. This is what we can see in his latest project, In the Name of Kernel (2006 - ongoing). The kernel, the heart of every operating system, becomes the myth around which coagulates a symbolic event combining travel literature, the alchemy tradition and science fiction, terrorism and conspiracy theories, programming and mountaineering, 3D modelling and satellite mapping, hallucinations and revelations. A high definition metaphor for those who love the clear air of the high peaks." - Domenico Quaranta

OVNI

The OVNI (Observatoire de la vidéo non identifiée) was founded in 1993 by the artists Joan Leandre, Toni Serra and Rosa Llop in Barcelona. OVNI's archives have an international and thematic character, facilitating a criticism of the contemporary culture using various strategies such as video art, independent documentary, and the archaeology of mass media. The archives gather a constellation of disparate works of which the common denominator is self-expression and thought about fears and the place of individual in collectives, building, and conjugating a multiple view. A thousand little works go into detail and explore our world or announce other possibilities. A discourse of which major values are heterogeneity, plurality, and contradiction, and in which subjectivity accomplishes itself. In this discourse, subjectivity is the only tool of repulsion against cloning and corporate mass media's repetition. During the various editions, the thematic character of this convocation changes through selections of works into a reading, a particular register of our time's dreams and nightmares. Thus, one could verify how the concerns' spectre has been gradually concentrated, taking part in a very developed range at the beginning of OVNI in 1993-1999 (to develop and explore video language's boundaries, recovering its first formal freedom and theme), until that it concentrates itself more and more on specific themes : Identity against Media (1997-98), Community (2000), Globalization (2002), September 11th's Consequences (2003), Resistances (2005), and the Colonial Dream Independent Zones (2006).
The Catalan artist Joan Leandre has been a member of OVNI (Observatoire de la vidéo non identifiée) since 1993. From 1994 to 1996, he worked on the series MAP (Mega Assemble Project), Foundation Zero and Serial Monuments.

Earthwork
Video | hdv | color | 5:0 | Australia | 2016
Earthwork’s screen is positioned flat on the floor, facing upwards. The visitor, looking down, gets a bird’s-eye view of a suburban landscape in which there are destroyed buildings, damaged roads, fences, and gardens. The image suggests a world that has undergone massive disruption. It is unclear whether accident, entropic forces, or warfare has caused this result. Superimposed upon Earthwork’s devastated landscape is another smaller image that presents the viewer with an alternative framing the site. We see diagrams: symbols of what might be location coordinates, suggesting an ongoing search for boundaries, and an intention. The two images appear to be attempting to “ line-up ”, but this is never achieved. The title, Earthwork, references the American Land Art movement of the 1960s; Leber and Chesworth’s videowork further explores Robert Smithson’s concept of the “ non-site ”. A non-site is an artwork situated in a gallery that metaphorically represents a remote actual site. As Smithson suggests “ the site is evading you all the while its directing you to it ”.
Sonia Leber and David Chesworth are known for their distinctive installation artworks, using video, sound, architecture, and public participation. Developed through expansive research in places undergoing social change, Leber and Chesworth’s works are speculative and archaeological, responding to architectural, social, and technological settings.

Where Lakes Once Had Water
Video | 4k | color | 28:14 | Australia | 2020
‘Where Lakes Once Had Water contemplates how the Earth is experienced and understood through different ontologies – ways of being, seeing, sensing, listening and thinking – that reverberate across art, Indigenous thought, science, ancient and modern cultures, and the non-human.’ Sonia Leber and David Chesworth travelled with a team of Earth and environmental scientists who are investigating changes in the climate, landscape and ecology over 130,000 years. Their journey took them to Australia’s Northern Territory, to spectacular yet challenging environments, from locations of long-term aridity to lush, green waterways. Where Lakes Once Had Water channels the experience, where Indigenous rangers, Elders and community members collaborate with scientists. Working across the ancient shorelines, everyone is receptive to the signs, signals and rhythms of the land. Meanwhile, non-human cohabitants continue their struggles for survival. Leber and Chesworth deploy video as a tool, scanning tree lines, erosions, termite mounds, and the effects of water, sun and fire. Their disquieting sound design encompasses natural and human-made sounds, and the hidden signals and energies that exist beyond human hearing. The project is a journey across audio-visual realms, scientific endeavour and Indigenous knowledge – a coalescence of efforts to understand the ancient land. "Where Lakes Once Had Water" was commissioned by the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage (CABAH) in association with Bundanon. It was filmed on the lands and waters of the Mudburra, Marlinja, Jingili, Elliot, Jawoyn and Larrakia communities in Northern Territory, with additional filming and editing on Barkandji, Dharawal, Djabugay, Yidinji and Wurundjeri Country. University of Wollongong Art Collection, Australia.
Australian artists Sonia Leber and David Chesworth are known for their distinctive video, sound and architecture-based installations that are audible as much as visible. Leber and Chesworth’s works are speculative and archaeological, often involving communities and elaborated from research in places undergoing social, technological or local geological transformation. Their works emerge from the real but exist significantly in the realm of the imaginary, hinting at unseen forces and non-human perspectives. Leber and Chesworth’s artworks have been shown in the central exhibitions of the 56th Venice Biennale: All The World’s Futures (2015) and the 19th Biennale of Sydney: You Imagine What You Desire (2014). Solo exhibitions include What Listening Knows, Messums Wiltshire, UK (2021) and the survey exhibition Architecture Makes Us: Cinematic Visions of Sonia Leber & David Chesworth, Centre for Contemporary Photography, Melbourne, Australia (2018) touring to Griffith University Art Museum, Brisbane (2019) and UNSW Galleries, Sydney (2019).

CIVIC
Fiction | dcp | color | 19:49 | USA | 2022
CIVIC is a short film that follows Booker on his first trip back home to South Central, L.A. after several years of self-imposed exile. Without any clear motive, or even a warning, Booker returns to the place that holds his origins and the people who shaped him. Framed almost exclusively inside of his car, CIVIC tracks Booker’s fleeting and fragmented encounters around his old streets. Booker spends most of his time with his childhood best friend, Tee. They ride around to liquor stores and lingering in parking lots after closing time. Closeness and distance ebbs and flows between them as they talk about their lives, old and new. The repaved ground between them allows Booker to dive deep into the past, seemingly letting go of the tension in the present. However, we soon realize Booker is avoiding his responsibility to his family members across this trip. Just as he plans his disembark from L.A., he has an unexpected encounter that helps to reframe his perspective in the world. CIVIC is an introspective film, giving life to the wordless exchanges, the mundane and the familiar shorthand of unfettered Black life.
Dwayne LeBlanc is a Los Angeles based, first generation, Caribbean-American artist and filmmaker. Primarily self taught, his practice focuses on themes of migration, visibility and dual identities. His debut narrative short film, Civic (2022), an introspective short film about homecoming, was awarded a production grant from Ghetto Film School and Netflix while simultaneously developed at Berlinale Talents 'Short Form Station.' Civic has been screened and awarded at international film festivals around the world, including International Film Festival Rotterdam, Clermont-Ferrand, New Orleans Film Festival, Atlanta Film Festival and Indie Memphis. LeBlanc was also named as part of the "future of cinema" at the 2023 New Directors / New Films festival in NY where Civic was screened at Lincoln Center and the Museum of Modern Art. LeBlanc is a MacDowell fellow and a member of the Writers Guild of America.

D'ici là/ (Untill then) Parting, uprooting are adressed through the search of new landmarks situated in the public space of Berlin. Each stakeholder participates to the physical and imaginery construction of its representation. The staged car involves a process of projection and intimate reflection on History and each and every's journey, situated in the "big story's" fringe. The German/Polish border presents a territorial division that evokes another temporality echoing back to the faddish aspect of interventions in an urban environment and to their reliance in an historical politic landscape.
Born in 1980, Elise Leclercq, leaving for 3 years to study scenography at the ENSAV- La Cambre (Brussels), reorientates her researchs towards the video within the workshops of Espaces Urbains (Urban Spaces). She realizes several documentary projects in different parts of Brussels and in Berlin, all orientated around contemporary urban problems. The question of means of individual representation that the inhabitant of a neighbourhood do and that we call the public space, is central. She currently starts on a Master in Anthropology at the EHESS in Paris, during which she counts upon to deepen the evoked reflections of her several artistic projects and to confront them with a scientific reflection.

Fragility and obsolescence
Experimental doc. | hdv | color | 10:0 | France | 2017
The Centre for Prevention, Integration and Citizenship (CIPC) has been opened in September 2016. It is designated as the first French «deradicalization» centre. There is constant debate about its resources, organization and very existence. Access is restricted, its surroundings are heavily protected and it is inaccessible to journalists, not to mention artists. This video is the story of an effort to understand. How a narrative strategy is set in place. With the aim of providing some kind of representation of this physical, aesthetic and philosophical domain. In her essay «Confiscation», Marie-José Mondzain (french philosopher) suggests a re-appropriation of the divisive word «Deradlicaliser»(deradicalize). Once extracted from its reductive definition (reversing an extremist belief), it becomes the means to reveal fragility and obsolescence in the real. The video has been organised, set up and directed according to this conceptual premise.
Samuel Lecocq was born in Paris in 1992. He lives and works in Brussels.

Jean-François Lecourt est né dans le Perche le 3 Novembre 1958, au sein d’une famille d’agriculteurs. Il entre à 17 ans à l’école des Beaux-Arts du Mans où enseigne Gina Pane, une des artistes fondatrices du mouvement de l’art corporel. Parallèlement, il suit l’éducation d’un Maître d’Arts Martiaux en Karaté Do (la voie des mains nues) de l’école Shotokan, et s’adonne assidûment aux pratiques du Tir à l’arme à feu et du Tir à l’arc. Sa démarche est basée sur l’analogie et l’identification. Une méthode qui le conduit à la découverte de l’aspect cyclique et symétrique des processus de tir et de photographie ; d’où le concept majeur de son œuvre : Le Tir dans l’appareil photographique.Cet acte artistique est un cérémonial immuable qu’il pratique depuis 1977. Il ne s’agit pas pour lui d’illustrer une névrose autodestructrice mais de tenter, en un retour immédiat, d’abolir l’arrêt fatal du cliché. La photographie est donc ici un Art martial. Comme dans le Kuy-Do, la cible à atteindre est soi-même, le but étant la réalisation au présent de celui qui pratique. Une nouvelle création vidéo de 2010 implique une série de films qui mettent en jeu l’autoportrait, la détonation, effondrement et la renaissance du paysage, ce travail s’intitule « Les tirs dans le miroir ».

The polarized political situation of Venezuela is presented as an asymmetric documentary that shows the private and the public space in the capital Caracas. The constant fear induced by political in-stability and the incapability of the government in public safety has given raise in the last few years to a prosperous industry of home-security that has re-shaped the public and private space. Bob-wire and electric fences are the new decoration fashion that every house must have in order to be saved from the ?other?. Caracas is a place where nature, humans and panic seem to be able to co-exist in a tense harmony.
