Liquid medias. The computer uses generative processes, based on random, which recalls Mallarmé's Coup de dés, to the quantas' theory and "chance operations" of Cage. PHARES GAMMA is a self generated work, infinite by nature, where words, images and sounds are posted together.

In the CD-ROM AFTERGLOW (2002) are used images and sounds recorded corresponding to a cloned memory, in the utopic idea of an art that would be a perfect life's clone. Living memory becoming computer’s memory forgetting nothing.

The text functions as a sampling of an imaginary database of our time becoming , treated from a program, infinite, labyrinthine text, like a neuronal network, a clone infinitely recycled never stopping, like encephalogram, like life, except biological or mechanical accident, what autorizes the computer, coding indefinitely texts, sounds, motionless or animated images, in constant change or Cyber Flesh.
