1. StoryFace

   "StoryFace" is a digital fiction based on the capture and recognition of facial emotions.

   The user logs onto a dating website. He/she is asked to display, in front of the webcam, the emotion that seems to characterize him/her the best. After this the website proposes profiles of partners. The user can choose one and exchange with a fictional partner. The user is now expected to focus on the content of messages. However, the user's facial expressions continue to be tracked and analyzed… 

   What is highlighted here is the tendency of emotion recognition devices to normalize emotions. Which emotion does the device expect? We go from the measurement of emotions to the standardization of emotions. 

   StoryFace was re-published in The New River in 2018.

2. #PEAE (Participatif Ethology in Artificial Environments)

   Originally I proposed a 20 min long performance called ThinkTalk with Rob Wittig – In it, we wanted to mix objects, voices and text live (using webcams) to compose something like a text opera with solos, dialogs, a choir and organic chaos. It should have been a meandering text collage with coincidences and contingency leading to unintentional meaning. - if you have an opportunity to invite us?
   Instead I will tell you about my relation to electronic literature and my struggles defining my artworks.
