Inner Telescope
Inner Telescope is a poem created aboard the International Space Station (ISS) with the assistance of French astronaut Thomas Pesquet, who realized it on Saturday, February 18th, 2017. Inner Telescope was specifically conceived for zero gravity and was not brought from Earth: it was made in space by Pesquet following my instructions. The poem was made from materials already available in the space station. It consists of a form that has neither top nor bottom, neither front nor back. Viewed from a certain angle, it reveals the French word “MOI“ [meaning “me”, or "myself"]; from another point of view one sees a human figure with its umbilical cord cut. This “MOI“ stands for the collective self, evoking humanity, and the umbilical cord cut represents our liberation from gravitational limits. Inner Telescope is an instrument of observation and poetic reflection, which leads us to rethink our relationship with the world and our position in the Universe. Since the 1980s, I have been theorizing and producing poetry that challenges the limits of gravity, especially with my holopoems—written with light.

Institute for Southern Contemporary Art
The Institute for Southern Contemporary Art is a long-term project that aims to
develop an experimental platform for artists and cultural producers through
results derived from machine learning and art market data. Drawing from climate
change disasters and the use of algorithmic analysis, the video portrays a
dystopian future where the creation of art is tied to its market consumption.
Although ISCA’s mission seems disconcerting, it also strikes as strangely
familiar. Is ISCA simply looking to join the likes of existing programs such as
ArtRank and Art Advisor, or does it rather wish to shed light on the possible
pitfalls of these endeavours? Doubt is at the core of this proposition.(source: Description from the schedule)
