NumericEric
Born in 1966 lives and works in Paris Visual and sound artist, always interested in the avant-garde and the aesthetic and technical trends, he works since the beginning of the 90s with the digital technology which allows him to handle the image and the sound. Graphic designer and DA at the beginning but also co-founder and member of the duo of artists and sound performers, "RadioMentale". In 1996 he joined the team of the « Cyberthéatre » and the « Nirvana » site in Brussels and will continue to evolve in the fields of internet and audiovisual creation. Since 2003 he has been working on a concept of decorative videos, called « WallPaper Video ».Thought of as an alternative to traditional TV programs when the first flat screens appear. Some of his first creations are published in the collection DVD by Numbers, by Sony France. After these beginnings in the radio within the RadioMentale duo, he elaborates the concept of "cinémix" an alternative to the cinema concerts, by using the techniques of the DJs and proposing a sound and musical rereading of silent films but also speaking, in the form of live performances. These performances have taken the duo to the 4 corners of the world for more than 15 years. Since 2016 he is interested in the world of crypto-currencies and BlockChain and works on various projects related to this technology. Notably with "Time Capsule", a collaborative project to send a message to the future, stemming from the need for greater awareness of our impact on the planet and its repercussions on our becoming. But also the creation of artistic, visual, and musical NFT in various forms. His approach to digital creation and his work, in general, seeks to induce imagination and introspection. Whether visual and/or sound, he strives to create dreamlike universes through his creations, often altered visions, and fragmented images, playing on complexity and dislocation. Visions, as in states of modified consciousness of real or imaginary worlds. He perceives the meaning of Art as a quest for links between visible and invisible while using technologies, not as a technical demonstration but rather as trying to make poetry emerge, within a world that has become far too materialistic.
