LAPS is an audio and visual installation that uses Internet as a resonant space. A sound is sent on Internet and returns into the exhibition’s space, then is sent back again. This cycle is reproduced ad infinitum. Feeded by the transmission errors, the sound material is shaped by its route on the network. This sound stream, played in the installation, is gradually structured and crystallizes the activity of a part of the Web at each moment. This "life" of the network is transcribed inside the installation under the shape of an imaginary brilliant landscape.

This project benefits from the streaming servers of LOCUSONUS [site] This project has the prize "Brouillon d'un rêve" from the Multimedia Author Civilian Society of France.

Digital Debris is a site-specific sound installation, organically produced from the remnants of locally sourced discarded electricals. 

At the heart of this installation is a reclaimed computer running an automaton program that harvests mp3/ogg files from the web. Digital Debris then recomposes with those found audio objects in a spacial mash-up across multiple DIY speakers that rain down on its audience.
