Alain Puissochet Albertine Meunier Albertine Meunier is a digital net artist since 1998. She has created several well known net-art artworks. She is interested in Web players like Google, Facebook, or Twitter Freebase. Some of her artworks : In 2003, Counter Googling, an artistic response to the emerging use of "googling" people search engine a working progress since 2006, My Google Search History is a set of movies, sounds and text inventory with all her search requests done since 2006 on Google search engine. You can download it freely ! Free Influencer, based ont the open and shared database Freebase, giving the people influence in kilogrammes. The Big Picture, co created with Oliver Auber and Yann Le Guennec, is a living image of the updated status on Facebook to highlight the activity of these so-called social sites Theorie M and Dcodd are mixing Internet, mobile phone, movie, cartography and urban spaces. 2D codes have been tagged and painted on the pavement in the town of Paris. Each tag is linked to a movie that can be seen on the mobile phone. Albertine has created the Tea Time with Albertine, an internet and multimedia workshop with hyper seniors (80 years old women) Around the World is a set of imaginary landscape made up with very real places with the particularity to be composed of real elements of Google Street View.. Stweet is a mix of street and tweet offering a real new way to discover geolocalised tweets from Twitter on a Google Street View panorama. in French : Albertine Meunier pratique l'art dit numérique depuis 1998 et s'intéresse actuellement à l'art sur internet et sur téléphone mobile. Du côté de l'art sur internet, elle s'est intéressée dernièrement à des acteurs du Web comme Google, Facebook, Freebase ou Twitter. En 2003, Counter Googling permet de répondre de manière artistique à l'usage naissant de « googler » des personnes dans le moteur de recherche Google. En 2006 elle démarre une nouvelle pièce interpellant Google, My Google Search History, pièce en constante construction, où elle publie mois après mois l'inventaire exhaustif de ses recherches dans le moteur Google, questionnant ainsi l'usage des données personnelles par Google. En 2008, la Big Picture, co-reéalisé avec Olivier Auber et Yann Le Guennec, présente l'image vivante de mises à jour de status sur Facebook mettant en lumière l'activité de ces sites dits sociaux. En 2008 toujours, à la croisée des questions autour de l'identité numérique et de l'évaluation d'individus, Free Influencer propose à chacun de pouvoir contrôler son identité en ligne tout en gagnant en poids d'influence. Free Influencer utilise Freebase, base de données ouverte et libre. Du côté du téléphone mobile, à travers des pièces comme Theorie M ou Dcodd, elle s'intéresse tout particulièrement à l'interaction créée par le téléphone mobile et les codes 2D taggés dans la ville. Et puis, voilà maintenant plus d'une année qu' Albertine a monté un atelier internet, Tea Time with Albertine, avec des femmes de plus de 77 ans afin de « réinsérer » des femmes a priori écartées de la société dite numérique. Enfin dernièrement Albertine s'intéresse tout particulièrement à Google Street View et Twitter. Une première pièce s'intitulant Around the World présente un ensemble de tableaux numériques sur internet créant un univers imaginaire formé de lieux tout à fait réels. Les paysages de cet univers imaginaire ont la particularité d'être composés d'éléments réels de Google Street View. Une seconde pièce, co réalisé avec Jérôme Alexandre et Cornelius Reed (We-love-the.net), Stweet permet de suivre les twitts géolocalisés en temps réel dans Google Street View. Ce projet est un projet artistique d'appropriation des données géographiques, photographiques et temps réel du Web . Il permet une représentation enrichie du flux d'informations présent sur internet. Stweet, lui, fait vivre le web autrement, fait vivre la ville autrement, dans une superposition du monde réel et numérique. Stweet reprend possession de la ville et met en scène la parole de ses habitants via un mur enrichi. jacqueline, an albertine's friend, in love with fredéric

Aurore Hainaux Axelle Benaich Fing Axelle Benaïch explore la ville, ses habitants et s’amuse à immerger ceux qui la rencontrent, dans un bestiaire champêtre où grouillent les mots, les notes mutines et les bruits de métro. Autodidacte et curieuse des nouvelles technologies, elle expérimente et croise en permanence différents médias et contenus. Depuis 2002, elle développe une imagerie sonore et visuelle qui puise ses sources dans l’intime, les récits de vie, le « vivre en ville », aujourd’hui. Une sorte de carnet intime réécrit et raturé en permanence, une succession d’empreintes de ses rencontres et expériences qui, tissées ensemble, produisent du sens. En 2004, elle développe un journal collectif, « Les fées curieuses » qui propose un espace de publication simplifié et ludique, que peuvent alimenter les personnes qu’elle rencontre. Chacun, après s’être baptisé d’un pseudonyme (la fée-lait, la fée-drine, la féé-C, la fée-tarde etc.. ) a le choix de publier à son rythme différents contenus visuels ou sonores. « Vide ton sac ! » est le premier projet qu’elle met en route. Elle croise des femmes à qui elle demande de vider leur sac, sur une table et d’en éparpiller le contenu. Elle peut alors explorer les objets, petits mots griffonés, tickets de caisse etc . Elle transmet alors les photos à des musiciens qui s’emparent du contenu et recréaient une minute de musique en se basant sur les images reçues. Elle décide alors, après avoir développé sa propre structure, en conseil en communication & développement web, de prendre la responsabilité d’un espace public numérique, dans lequel elle développe différents projets dont :- www.moietmaville.org, (avec le cpe) audiothèque participative, qui capitalise sur le souvenir et « la vie au présent » des habitants du 15ème arrondissement à Marseille, territoire riche par sa mixité culturelle. Ce projet réalisé sur 18 mois, a été financé par le fond de soutien aux initiatives innovantes de la mission TIC du Conseil régional PACA et de l’Europe et a été retenu à deux reprises lors du Carrefour des Possibles (Paris en 2006 et Tunis en 2005), rendez-vous lié à la détection et la valorisation de projets innovants, organisé par la Fing, www.carrefourdespossibles.org. Dans ce cadre d’expérimentation, elle a proposé et accompagné le développement d’un Audiomat-on, cabine PHOTOMATON détournée pour capturer de manière autonome et non orientée, les récits de vie des habitants, réalisé par l’association KLANG. - Le projet AECM (avec le cpe) qui s’inscrit dans un cadre d’échange de pratiques et de savoirs autour de la réalisation d’oeuvres artistiques proposé aux habitants du 15ème arrondissement de Marseille, en partenariat avec des artistes; Axelle développait en échange pour eux un site internet et les formait à leur mise à jour. De manière parallèle,axelle développe ses propres productions musicales et multimedias. Sa musique - collages oniriques mêlant synthétiseurs virtuels, bontempi, samples urbains , voix - se mêle souvent à des visuels (piano graphique) innocents et enfantins. Elle se produit lors d’une centaine de représentations et France et à l’étranger (Allemagne, Belgique, Liban, Portugal) et signe des morceaux à 9 reprises sur des labels français ( Lesizsmor, indigo*magenta, roman photo) et étrangers en 2007 (« kindish- sublabel de « Get Physical », Allemagne en 2007 et « Théma » à New-York). Parallèlement à cette activité, Axelle remplit la fonction de community manager à la Fing (Fondation internet nouvelle génération). Baptiste De Ville D'Avray Afrique in visu Né en 1982 à Paris, Baptiste de Ville d’Avray vit et travaille entre l’Europe et l’Afrique. Après des études de multimédia, il se lance en 2006 dans la photographie. Il effectue alors un stage au sein du collectif Tendance Floue et un workshop avec Gille Saussier au CPIF. Cette même année, il co-initie au Mali, le projet Afrique in visu, plateforme d’échanges autour du métier de photographes en Afrique. Ce projet lui permet alors de voyager à travers l’Afrique : de Bamako à Oujda en passant par Dakar, Saint Louis, Nouadhibou ou encore Rabat. De retour en France en 2007, il participe à sa première exposition photographique dans le cadre des 2èmes Rencontres photographiques du Xe à Paris. En 2008, le commissaire invité, Fouad Maazouz, l’invite à exposer aux Rencontres Internationales de la Photographie de Fès. Parallèlement il est coup de cœur du jury SFR-jeunes talents pour les Chroniques Nomades 2008. Pendant l’été 2008, il participe, à la résidence « Intimité(s) » organisée par Afrique in visu à la Métive (Lieu International de Résidence artistique) – série en cours de réalisation. Photographe autodidacte et indépendant, ses travaux sont à la fois une recherche esthétique et documentaire. Il s’intéresse à des sujets comme l’urbanisation contemporaine dans les pays africains, Baptiste de Ville d’Avray utilise la couleur pour sublimer les personnes qu’il rencontre et les paysages urbains qu’il sillonne. Ses séries pointent toujours son goût des détails alliant humour, douceur et décalage. Baptiste de Ville d’Avray partage actuellement son temps entre la photographie (publications, expositions, workshop…) et la coordination technique du projet Afrique in visu. Béatrice Engelbach innovation, bionics, ICT, innovative & international education, history of arts, contemporary arts, DIY, design, architecture, France and Europe, Japan, Finland, cross-cultural communication, serious games, future studies Beatrice dedicates her knowledge and bridging abilities to innovative & international projects coordination: fundraising, partnership relations, marketing and communication of new products & services.She is presently working for the French Fing (Fondation internet nouvelle generation) where she helps the team Cities 2.0 in developping 2 experimental projects: la montre verte (the green watch) and Citywall. http://www.fing.org/?Montre-verte-City-pulsehttp://www.fing.org/?City-wall-nouveau-media-urbain-de She is also doing a research in "Bionics applied to Innovative Project Management" and should deliver her professional thesis in Oct 2009 on the following item: "éthologie comparée des comportements végétal, animal et humain dans l’appropriation d’une innovation.

Cédric Colin Cédric Kalonji Mfunyi Congo Blog democratic republic of Congo, Congo, Kinshasa, DRC, Politics, Daily life I come from the Democratic Republic of Congo, formerly called Zaïre and I have been working for five years as a journalist for Radio Okapi in Kinshasa. Radio Okapi is a radio station jointly owned and managed by the MONUC (the UN mission in Congo) and the Swiss Foundation Hirondelle. In 2005, I created a Blog on which I posted pictures and personal thoughts on ordinary daily life in Congo. Two years later, my Blog received the award for the Best Francophone Blog in the BOBs 2007, Best French-speaking journalist’s blog in the first edition of Waxal Blogging Africa Awards 2008. More precisely, it all started in September 2005. I wanted to publish pictures of my daily life on the Internet through a Blog. At the time I was using a small digital camera that my mother had given me as a present. I posted my pictures and wrote captions to explain the content of the photos in more detail. Very quickly I was encouraged by the growing number of visitors to my Blog, and their enthusiastic comments. With the support of Ecole Supérieure de Journalisme de Lille, Congoblog get bigger and is now a platform of 8 young congolese and 5 caricaturists sharing their daily life posted on the www.congoblog.net. They all received a training on blogging technique, which enable the blog to become "Congoblog Ba Leki". Ba leki means little brother/sister in Lingala, one of the officials language in Congo.

Works with ZINC/ECM Belle de Mai, since 2001, as a visiting artist at la Friche la Belle de Mai (a multidisciplinary artistic centre in Marseille). Etienne Rey’s chosen artistic fields lie at the intersection of sound, space and the sculpture. It is these dimensions that constitute the primary elements, the raw material, enabling the construction of evolving forms. All of Rey’s work pursues one single objective: to approach our world from a phenomenological perspective so as to reveal organizing principles and generic relationships. It is, moreover, a principle of coexistence that every element or entity is in relation with, and acts on its surroundings, just as its surroundings, in turn, act on it. The aim, therefore, is to uncover these organizing principles, these mutually responsive mechanisms, through their interrelationships. The question of interrelationships is at the heart of his artistic process and is expressed through collaborative work with musicians, engineers, researchers, who also transpose a type of writing process. The first stage of his work revolves around the question of interactive writing. In this process, three artworks led to the creation of an artificial intelligence motor, which links social intelligence to movement and sound generation. The second stage, which started in 2007, brings together matter with a virtual dimension. It invites us into this system, to play out our perceptions in order to question the relationships we have with the world. These relationships are based on principles of coexistence founded on our presence as well as our actions. ETIENNE REY / Plasticien. Titulaire d’une maîtrise en Arts Plastiques à l’Université d’Aix-en-Provence, et d’un Post Diplôme en architecture au laboratoire GAMSAU (Groupement d’Etudes Appliquées aux Méthodes Scientifiques de l’Architecture et de l’Urbanisme), en création numérique. Etienne Rey débute son activité artistique en 2001, il est résident à la Friche la Belle de Mai et artiste associé à ZINC. La démarche mise en oeuvre consiste à interroger les dimensions plastiques, sonores et l'espace perceptif. Ceci constitue la matière première propice à la construction de formes évolutives. La démarche suit un même objectif : aborder notre monde sous un angle phénoménologique pour révéler des mécanismes d'organisations, de relations génériques. En outre, tout élément ou entité est en relation et agit sur son entourage tout autant que son entourage agit sur lui, c'est un principe de coexistence. La question de l'interrelation est au centre du processus et s'exprime au travers des collaborations avec des musiciens, ingénieurs, chercheurs, qui traduisent aussi un processus d'écriture. Une première phase de travail se caractérise par l'interrogation de la notion d'écriture interactive, au travers de trois créations, qui aboutirons à l'élaboration d'un moteur d'intelligence artificielle alliant intelligence sociale, mouvement et génération sonore. Deuxième phase, depuis 2007, l'axe de travail consiste à croiser les dimensions matérielles et immatérielles. Il s'agit à présent de nous placer à l'intérieur de ce dispositif et de mettre en scène nos perceptions afin d'interroger les relations que nous entretenons avec le monde. Ces relations se basent sur des principes de coexistence dûs autant par notre présence que par nos actions. Fabien Eychenne Fing

He is active in various fields and research projects such as investigating Creatives Communities for Sustainable Lifestyles in China, India, Brazil and Africa for UNEP; exploring immersive service design approach in public institutions for the 27e Région or building a deliberative platform on nanotechnologies. François teaches as visiting professor in the Faculty of Design of the Politecnico in Milan and La Cambre school of design, Brussels. Along with with Ezio Manzini, he co-produced the Sustainable Everyday Project. This collection of scenarios and case of social innovations asked: what might everyday life be like in a sustainable society? How would we work, move, and take care of each other? The picture that emerged, says Jegou, was that of a ‘multi-local city…based on participative connected citizens”.

Gabrielle Garguilo Gaël Lemouton Gaël L., performance, art numérique, Pure Data, capteurs, vidéo Photographie numérique, vidéo, performance, ses projets artistiques ne se cantonnent pas à une seule discipline, mais recherchent un discours total, qui se fixe sur tous les média possibles. Son premier projet d'envergure, De Hysteria Chirurgica (2001-2009), interroge la répression de la sexualité au XIXè siècle, notamment lors de la naissance de la psychiatrie. Ce travail mêle collaborations artistiques (participations vidéo, co-mise en scène avec Valéry Dekowski de la performance Leçon du Mardi), et exploration de divers média (vidéo, installation, performance). Voyages Intérieurs (livre sorti aux éditions Ragage, 2007) présente un contrepoint à cette répression, en s'intéressant à une face plus épanouie de la sexualité, sous la forme plus classique du reportage / photographies. Il travaille actuellement avec l'appui de Frédéric Deslias, à une performance solo sur le thème de l'amour : In Altera Proxima, dont une première étape a été présentée en avril 2009 au Petit Lieu Poileboine (Caen).

De son vrai nom Israël GUEBO, Yoro accumule les prix avec son blog "Le Blog de Yoro". En 2008, il est sacré "Meilleur blogueur Francophone" par la Deutsche Welle lors des Bobs (coupe du monde blogs) en Allemange. En mars 2009, il se voit décerné le "Prix Spécial du meilleur Blog de Journaliste d'Afrique de l'Ouest" par l'Institut Panos Afrique de l'Ouest lors du Concours Waxal à Dakar au Sénégal. Un concours qui pour sa première édition a choisi de récompenser les meilleurs Journalistes blogueurs du continent africain. Après quelques années passées dans la presse écrite, Yoro s’est détaché et s'est investi à fond dans le blogging pour créer "Le Blog de Yoro". "J'avais un soucis d'indépendance et je voulais raconter la Côte d'Ivoire autrement que c'est rapporté par les médias traditionnels", affirme t-il. Israël Yoroba va donc crée son blog où il privilégie l'information de proximité, "le quotidien des Ivoiriens". Aussi, depuis février 2009, Yoro a créé un "blog collectif" : Avenue225.com. Avec quatre jeunes blogueurs qu'il a formé, il jette un regard sur la vie quotidienne en Côte d'Ivoire à travers des textes, des photos, des vidéos et des podcasts. Aujourd'hui pour Yoro, il faut continuer à (in)former et bientôt, il prépare d'autres formations de jeunes à Abidjan la capitale comme dans le reste du pays pour aggrandir le nombre de blogueurs en Côte d’Ivoire. *** Born in 1982, Israël Yoroba is part of the generation of West African journalists who promote blogging. Yoro, short for his real name Israël Guebo, has accumulated several prizes from his blog "Yoro's Blog." In 2008, he was acclaimed to be the "best french-speaking blogger" by the Deutsche Welle during the Bobs (blogging world cup) in Germany. In March 2009, he was awarded the "Special Prize for the best journalist blogger of Ouest Afriqua" by the West Africa Panos Institute, during the Dakar Waxal competition in Senegal. For its first edition, the competition decided to reward the best journalist bloggers of the African continent. After a few years as newspaper journalist, Yoro left this behind to dedicate himself completely to blogging, to create "Yoro's Blog." "I had concerns about independence and wanted to communicate to the Ivory Coast in an alternative way then the traditional media." says Yoro. Israel Yoroba's own blog privileges information closely associated to "Le Quotidien des Ivoiriens." Also Since February 2009, Yoro created a "Collective blog" : Avenue225.com along with four other young bloggers that he taught. They use texts, photos, videos, and podcasts to shed light on the everyday life of the Ivory Coast. Today, Yoro believes that we must continue to inform and educate. He is preparing a number of courses for the youth of Abijan, the capital, and for others from the rest of the country, to increase the number of bloggers in the Ivory Coast.  Guichané Anne

Chargé de mission TIC à la ville de Rennes j'ai successivement déployé des sites web, des supports multimédia et des extranets d'alimentation d'information avant de développer de nombreuses expérimentations en rapport avec la notion de territoire "augmenté" avec un objectif de services aux habitants. Depuis 2004 je travaille sur la veille, l'expérimentation avec les habitants, l'administration électronique et la politique de ville, en lien avec de nombreux réseaux (Villes internet, Apronet, groupe cyberterritoire, Avicca, DIACT, Fing...). J'ai eu la chance de pouvoir mener de nombreuses expérimentations d'usages pour le territoire rennais : CD Rom vivre à Rennes, mise en ligne de la maquette 3D de la ville et de 1400 organismes utiles, équipement internet pilote avec collectifs de handicapés, moblogs citoyens géolocalisés, systèmes d'informations mobiles gratuits utilisant les flux 2.0 via bluetooth, etc, etc. A titre personnel je suis convaincu de l'importance du concept de représentation et du dépassement de l'opposition entre "réel" et "virtuel". Je suis également convaincu que la liberté l'égalité et la fraternité demandent un apport d'énergie pour exister, au risque de s'étioler. La notion de bien commun, comme celle de capacité d'auto-organisation ou celle de "méthode agile" m'intéressent beaucoup ;-) Je suis co-fondateur de la bibliothèque francophone de second life et du metavers ainsi que du Metalab3D des cyberterritoires (avec Loic Hay) A titre professionnel je suis co-fondateur des Rencontres du Net public breton, des Etés TIC de bretagne, et des Rencontres Nationales de la communication publique et des technologies nouvelles.  IRINA VASSILEVA ParisTech Chargée de Programmes Europe (Europe centrale et orientale, Russie) à ParisTech.

Jean-Pierre Mandon Jeanne Mercier www.afriqueinvisu.org Afrique, Photographer, Africa, Photographe, Bamako, exhibition  Jeanne Mercier (France) est co-fondatrice du blog www.afriqueinvisu.org, première plateforme d’échanges autour du métier de photographe en Afrique dont elle est la coordinatrice. Parallèlement à des études d’histoire de l’art, Jeanne Mercier débute son parcours professionnel auprès du jeune public à travers l’animation et la sensibilisation aux arts visuels. Elle collabore activement avec des associations engagées auprès d’artistes africains ou de la diaspora à travers l’organisation d’évènements, montage de projets. En 2005, Elle oriente ses recherches sur le métier de photographe en Afrique et réalise une étude de terrain au Mali et un mémoire sur « Les Rencontres Africaines de la Photographie, Bamako ». En 2006, elle part avec Baptiste de Ville d’Avray au Mali et au Maroc monter le projet Afrique in visu et dispenser des cours d’histoire de la photographie au CFP, Centre de Formation e Photographie de Bamako. Depuis, elle réalise du conseil artistique auprès de festivals ou d’artistes (Biennale de Singapour, FESMAN…)ainsi qu'un travail de recherche sur la photographie en Afrique. Elle réalise actuellement un doctorat sur « L’élaboration d’un contexte culturel photographique en Afrique, le cas malien » à l’EHESS, Paris. Elle s’intéresse à l’émergence de nouvelles formes de distribution dans le secteur photographique en Afrique et aux usages sociaux et pratiques autour des Nouvelles Technologies en Afrique (blog, photo, téléphone mobile etc…). Afrique in visu was born from an observation: that the photographic sector in Africa is lacking in some important areas - including a lack of agencies, organising bodies and training centres - as well as suffering from somewhat undeveloped and incoherent cultural policies. Moreover, the few existing organisations prefer to call on the photographic skills of countries to the North. They don't collaborate or draw on the skills available in neighbouring countries, even though the problematics of these countries are closer to their own and more adapted to their needs. One contemporary issue faced by the African photographic sector is that its actors only receive a kind of ephemeral recognition from the western world, who label such works, without taking into account the realities at grass-roots or the expectations of the sector's actors. The aim of the Afirque in visu project was to free photographic practice in Africa from the reductive label of "African authenticity". Now with over a year's experience, this goal has expressed itself by inviting photographers and researchers from the African continent, those working on this continent or areas of its diaspora, to contribute to the enrichment of the Afrique in visu platform. The project grew out of a study carried out by Jeanne Mercier, doctorate researcher at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) on the subject of Les 6 èmes Rencontres Africaines de la Photographie de Bamako. This analysis explored the various problems which an African country like Mali faces in terms of its photographic sector. After a series of discussions on photographic practices with photographer Baptiste de Ville d'Avray, the idea was born : a network which would establish mutual training programs, an exchange of knowledge and skills, taking as its starting point the existing skills in each country in order to help them to face common issues and thus to evolve continually. In October 2006, Jeanne and Baptiste initiated this experiment in Bamako, Mali, via the CFP (Cadre de promotion pour le Formation en Photographie). Since the beginning of January 2007, the Afrique in visu platform has averaged 1500 visits per day. Through this intense activity of dialogue and exchange, a veritable community has been built up around African photography. Congolese, Nigerian, Moroccan and also Europeans have joined the blogosphere that was started initially with the Malian photographers, to develop structural links within this sector.  Jérôme De Vries LES ANGES URBAINS customer experience, storytelling, design management, intelligence visuelle, HOLOMAPS, design planning, personnae, e-reputation Jézabel Roullée Proposition accès public à internet, INNOVATION !! Consultante pour le Cabinet Proposition, en charge de l'animation de la plateforme régionale de ressources numériques pour les territoires et les Espaces Régionaux Internet Citoyen (ERIC) en Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur.

Her early experiences with tools and tinkering came naturally from her mother who taught pattern making and her father who is a self-taught machinist. This background gave her the foundation for her DIY projects, for learning through tinkering, and for combining textiles and electronics. Judy has collaborated with several artist groups in the San Francisco Bay Area and is currently working on a large metal installation for the Burning Man Art Festival, which incorporates kinetic movement, video projection, and fire performance. Judy has developed projects and educational toys for Make magazine, and as an art and technology instructor she focuses on teaching workshops in Spanish. Judy has conducted and organized Make Play Day, the largest workshop at Maker Faire. Judy’s workshops emphasize artistic freedom, encourage tinkering, and motivate curiosity in a safe environment where children, parents, and all the curious of all ages disassemble electronic equipment and use the salvaged items to create art-technology installations.

Originaire de Marseille et baignée par la culture méditerranéenne, ses multiples séjours lui ont permis de découvrir de nombreuses autres cultures. En 1999, quelques mois passés en Principauté d’Andorre lui feront aimer les paysages verdoyants et brumeux du Pas de La case. Ce supermarché à ciel ouvert sera une première expérience de la diversité des situations et de la variété des personnes fréquentant ce lieu. La nuit, les vaches reprenant possession des routes délaissées par le flot quotidien des voitures. Bruxelles s’en suivra. Le Goulet Louise et ses commerces de luxe lui ont certainement appris le beau, celui qui est futile mais indispensable. Les soirées bruxelloises, mille bières, la sympathie du peuple belge lui ont aussi fait découvrir le sens de l’accueil. Le soleil lui manquait trop... Aix-en-provence sera son étape suivante. Une bien belle ville, mélange d’un dynamisme étudiant et d’une vieille bourgeoisie, qui donne à voir des terrasses toujours pleines et de beaux commerces. La Culture raignant en maître dans ces lieux, ayant inspirés tant d’artistes. Montréal es-tu là ? Arrivée en août 2001, située entre Saint Denis et Mont Royal, gravir La Montagne en vélo était son exercice quotidien pour voir le jour se lever. Le Plateau est La Place de Montréal, où l’on peut croiser un costume 3 pièces, voir des cheveux rouges, quelques piercings, etc. C’est à Montréal que Laly Kleinn a découvert la culture non-conformiste qui lui collera à la peau depuis, jusqu’à se faire tatouer l’emblême du Québec sur la cheville. Sa visite début 2002 à New-York, perdue de nuit dans les rues de GrennApple, la feront tomber par hasard sur le quartier de Ground Zero, encore dévasté. Inimaginable .. avec comme souvenir, la gentillesse des New-Yorkais, melting-Pot Afro-européo-asiatique. Boston, les chutes du Niagara, Toronto, Ottawa, les couleurs des Laurentides, le Lac Saint Jean, Québec, le Saint-Laurent, la Gaspésie : tant de choses qu’il faut voir pour approcher Le Beau. 1 an d’émerveillement chez nos amis Nord-Américains. Après un retour à Aix-en-Provence, Laly Kleinn se rapprochera du toît de l’Europe en 2005. Une nouvelle fois au Pied d’une Montagne, celle-ci s’appellera Le Môle, située dans la Vallée du Giffre, en Haute-Savoie à 15km de Genève. Beaucoup de brouillard, de la neige, -20°C à l’extérieur, voilà pourquoi les maisons sont si grandes et les fêtes si nombreuses. Depuis, Laly Kleinn aime encore plus les grandes maisons et les moments conviviaux, même si le soleil est présent 300 jours par an, comme actuellement dans le Gard, à la porte des Cevennes, près d’Anduze... ... à suivre ... Lars Bilharz jquery, css, xhtml, web standards, front end, project management, seo Lars Bilharz, born in 1975, lives and works as independent Software Professional and Project Manager in Berlin.

Michael was the open source community liaison for the Openmoko project, a cellphone that was completely open sourced, including all software source code, schematics, and even the CAD files for the housing. By making all these sources available, modifications not only to the software but also to the hardware and the case (by those who posses the right equipment, which is now more and more accessible) were enabled. Having worked in the tech industry for almost 30 years, Michael has observed first hand the changes in areas such as CNC metal fabrication and printed circuit board design and manufacturing, and the rapid price drops in 3D printers, laser cutters, and even the CAD software that we take for granted now. Michael is a strong believer in the creativity and ingenuity in each and every one of us, and is fascinated by the potential of making these tools and processes available to the masses.

Nicolas Enderlé Nicolas Frespech artist, RFID, artwork, netart, art, exposition, art contemporain, puces, expérimentations, photographie, Datamatrix, Qrcode, Internet of things, sculpture, pédagogie Nicolas Frespech is a French artist born in 1971. He has been working with the Web since 1996, and taught Net Art at Paul Valery University from 2002 to 2005. His various projects form a body of work that covers identity and its virtual and mercantile standardization, intimacy, the phenomenon of Webcams and telesurveillance, media, games and fiction. The best-known of his online creations is “I am your friend … You can tell me your secrets”, also the first Net artwork to be publicly acquired (by Frac Languedoc-Roussillon) in 1998. Access to this work has been prohibited since 2001, thereby provoking much debate over the presence of contemporary Net artworks in the public and virtual space of the Internet. This project exhibited ticker tapes of “secrets” either sent directly by Netizens or gathered during public cultural talks (Contemporary Art Days organized by the Ministry of Culture and Communication). Nicolas Frespech explores the relational and artistic qualities of the Internet, playing with the paradoxes of the network and making micro-creations which criticize the mercantilism of the Internet. He questions Net Art itself by multiplying his experiments, particularly in the field of mobile communications. http://www.frespech.com

Nicolas' research work is split between user experience studies and foresight research. He runs user studies that aim at uncovering people's behavior when using technologies to turn them into insights for designers, engineers and marketers (recommendations, constraints, ideas, inspiration, limits). For that matter, methods employed ranges from ethnography to conducting tests and experiments. His work in foresight is about scanning/analysis of signals about the future of various technologies. In particular, he watches the underlying factors, needs and motivations that shape the diffusion of technologies. The domains he covers range from mobile/urban/location-based applications to tangible and gestural interactions, social computing and gaming. His blog is about future technologies/practices and their implications. One can think of it as a compendium of material he runs across and that he finds interesting, challenging, relevant to his user experience work or simply intriguing. Nicolas has a PhD in Human-Computer Interaction from the Swiss Institute of Technology (EPFL, Lausanne) where he also worked as a research scientist at the Media and Design Lab. He also holds an undergraduate degree in Cognitive Sciences and a M.Sc. in Human-Computer Interaction.

My arts degree hasn't prevented me from being primarily interested in the scientific and technological world in which we live. Perhaps it's helped others too to be able to explain their knowledge to someone they know isn't on their par. Today, I'm working on setting up a network across the world to help all those who take an interest in using and generating electricity differently. Can't live without it, so let's make sure we look after how we consume it - more efficiently, less wastefully, using renewable energies... As an individual - unless you're an expert appointed by your country to work on an IEC Technical Committee - there's little chance of your being given a say in the IEC standards on which nations base their legislation when it comes to producing, using, transporting or distributing electricity.

Current interests include the convergence of digital and physical experiences (e.g. ways in which communication-based experiences impact how individuals navigate physical spaces, alter social relations, constructs, & movement in the offline realm, etc.), the open source knowledge movement, lead user studies, sustainability + digital intelligence, education & the next generation teacher ("education 2.0+"), and more. Sylvain Crespel Sylvain Maire Colibri - Colombbus Urbain, Réseaux, Développement, Eau, Assainissment, Transport, TIC, Technologies, Inovations, Pays du sud, Barrios, Venezuela Diplômé en philosophie et en science politique (Ingénierie des Services Urbains en Réseaux dans les Pays en Développement), mon parcours a croisé les nouvelles technologies en travaillant à la mission TIC de la ville de Rennes. Mon but a été depuis de mettre en avant des points de convergences entre les réseaux urbains et les réseaux sociaux numériques. De plus je m’intéresse à l’utilisation des nouvelles technologies dans le secteur du développement. Je fais dans ce sens une veille sur les nouveaux usages urbains dans les pays du sud, sur la page http://www.palabre.org/. Après avoir travaillé au Venezuela sur l’accès à la mobilité d’une part, et sur les modalités innovantes de la collecte des impôts locaux d’autre part, je me suis engagé dans le Projet Colibri (http://colibri.palabre.org/). Ce projet vise à développer une plateforme collaborative de gestion urbaine en libre, pour les conseils communaux des quartiers informels de Caracas (« barrios »). Ce système pourra permettre d’améliorer l’accès aux services essentiels et aux services publics dans les quartiers autoproduits et informels, au travers d’outils informatiques et grâce à la participation des habitants.
