1. TOC: A New-Media Novel

   TOC is a multimedia epic about time: the invention of the second, the beating of a heart, the story of humans connecting through time to each other and to the world. An evocative fairy tale with a steampunk heart, TOC is a breath-taking visual novel, an assemblage of text, film, music, photography, the spoken word, animation, and painting. It is the story of a man who digs a hole so deep he can hear the past, a woman who climbs a ladder so high she can see the future, as well as others trapped in the clockless, timeless time of a surgery waiting room: God's time. Theirs is an imagined history of people who are fixed in the past, those who have no word for the future, and those who live out their days oblivious to both.

2. Jacques Brel op 8 april 1929 bij zijn geboorte Avenue du Diamant 138, Schaerbeek

   The poem ‘Jacques Brel op 8 april 1929 bij zijn geboorte Avenue du Diamant 138, Schaerbeek’ (‘Jacques Brel on the 8th of April 1929 at his birth Avenue du Diamant 138, Schaerbeek’) is a part of the cycle ‘Birth cry’. In this case the poet puts words the day of his birth into Jacques Brel’s mouth. Brel on his first day of life is speaking in words of a vision he has about hiscareer as a famous Belgian chansonnier.

   Graphic designer Timo Pennings made from the lines of poetry a silent film where the words of Brel sing, jump and dance like he did in the theatre. He added piano music and the noise of the sea (Jacques Brel was an enthusiastic yachtsman).

3. Flow

   [ flow = lecture performative narrative ] Opus n° 2 de la série des flux commencée avec « flog ». Flow est le texte d'une fiction construite à la fois sur des moments issus de mon histoire familiale, de l'actualité contemporaine en matière de politique de l'accueil des étrangers et de l'histoire qui nous est contée dans le film Lettre à mon ami Pol Cèbe, 1970, de Michel Desrois et avec Antoine Bonfanti et José Thiais, des groupes Medvedkines.

   Flow croise différentes époques et régimes narratifs : histoire familiale, histoire politique (les Groupes Medvedkine) et actualité contemporaine.

   Flow s'attache à conter une histoire, celle d'une bande d'amis ouvriers, qui un jour de 1967 partent en voiture pour Lille, projeter l'un de leurs films dans un cinéma. Ils prennent en autostop un homme avec une drôle d'auréole sur la tête, à leur demande, celui-ci leur raconte une histoire. Il leur conte celle de mamy Mireille de Sangatte qui en 2008 sera mise en examen pour délit de solidarité. Le texte met en scène le téléscopage de ces deux époques, l'une ravivant l'autre, à quarante ans d'intervalle...

4. Ingenstans

   "Ingenstans (meaning "nowhere" in Swedish) is a video project about living between languages, trading American city life for village life in Sweden, or somewhere, nowhere. As a whole, the film could be taken as a (quasi-)ethnographic film, combining elements of documentary film with narrative film, spurious accounts of cultural icons, and reenactments of actual events. INGENSTANS was shot in Karlskrona Sweden, Copenhagen, Paris, Amsterdam, and California. The video is in English and Swedish with fleeting moments in Bulgarian, Italian, French, and Chinese. (running time 20 minutes)" (http://talanmemmott.com/video.html).
