DIS_CONTINUUM

Anthony ROUSSEAU

DIS_CONTINUUM is a work in progress on the review and recycling of images related to pictorial artworks. This project was born of a desire, following the (re) discovery of a dictionary of painting that I acquired when I was a student, to interpret over time the history of this art.

Specialist in digital creation tools, I decided that this interpretation would be done through software (DTP) which use a range of tools related to painting and drawing (eraser, scissors, strokes, lines, colors etc. ) and Internet networks that provide access to reproductions of artworks.

The artworks were selected according to two criteria, the alphabetical order of the dictionary, which contains more than seven hundred pages, and a more subjective choice of twenty painters (Manet to Picasso through Hockney) thatinfluenced me personally and artistically.

Presentation of his work

Visual artist, he has produced, in the recent years, audiovisual creations, which are broadcast in many artistic and cultural events at local and international levels (festivals, art galleries), and on television.

His work is based on misappropriations and recycling of elements generated by the mass media and, more particulary, internet network. His artworks include various references to literature, history of art, cinema and experimental cinema.

By appropriating the iconographic, audio and textual elements from the internet, he establishes a raw data basis that he transforms and formally organizes around ideas of hybridizations, mixes and collages.

All his works materialize through research and experiments on the still image, moving image and sound material. They take the form of video, photography, sound recording, performance and interactive installation.

The main idea that leads to these forms of creation, is the willing of a critical, poetic and aesthetic proofreading of a real existing. This appropriation is also supported by the diversity of techniques that he uses : Super8 camera, webcam, mobile phone...His creative processes are mostly related to the use of new information and communication technologies that promote cross-media creation and distribution, but also the hybridization and exchanges between media.

Thus, his various experiments and researches are translated into a set of different creations that are all stages of a work in progress, preamble to a rhizomatic creation.

All of its production is available and accessible in archives on his blog.
