SERIE OF 50

Ce devoir scolaire (et dévoyé) transforme un scanner domestique, outil froid et bête de captation, en support de négociation impossible entre la chair et la machine. La main, doigts tendus ou paume creusée, glisse sur le fil, traçant des cercles ratés : Les interférences biologiques, les résidus de peau, les halos de sueur, le saccadé des mouvements fossilisent la défection humaine. Digitals archive la recherche d’une forme primaire mais artificielle par un geste empirique mais charnel. Ces fantômes soulignent notre vulnérabilité face à un outil qui dit toujours vrai et auquel nous soumettons nos habitudes.

This (misguided) school assignment turns a household scanner – a cold, mindless tool of capture – into the site of an impossible negotiation between flesh and machine. The hand, with fingers stretched or palm hollowed, skims the surface, tracing failed circles. Biological interferences, skin residues, halos of sweat, and the stutter of movement fossilize human faltering. Digitals archives the search for a form both primal and artificial, through a gesture both empirical and flesh-bound. These ghosts underscore our vulnerability before a tool that always tells the truth, one to which we surrender our habits.
