About the Artist

http://julienmaire.ideenshop.net/index.shtml

Julien Maire systematically re-invents the technology of visual media. His research is a manifest hybrid between media-archeology and the production of new media constellations.

In a contemporary context of mutating media, his works  are at once innovative and archaic, seemingly simple yet unique in their radicality, both on the conceptual and the aesthetic level. Working on the interstices between installation, performance and media art, Maire’s creations are decidedly original, as he is never combining artforms merely for a provocative or innovative effect. His radicality is one that incites fundamental questions about the characteristics of the image and the position of their viewer. His manipulations are always motivated through the questioning of prevailing categories and visual strategies in the digital era.
