The myth of transparency (2018-2021)

The artist questions the unbridled liberties taken by social networks and other big data gatherers to build up their power. He has been collecting for years the terms and conditions to which he must periodically click "I agree" without having the time to "read them carefully “(sic). As a record, he printed the dozens of pages of the contracts to which he gave his consent, transparently, layer after layer, on resin. We can see the text, but the excess of information makes it unreadable. The format is that of tombstones, these souvenirs that participants in large financial transactions received from the investment banker as a memory of their success. There is no significant transaction in appearance when "I agree", yet millions of distracted acquiescences make billionaires.

Post lucem tenebrae? (Darkness after light?)

Post tenebras lux (Light after darkness) was the motto of the Calvinist reform. The Protestantism that would awaken consciences thanks to the technique of printing would lead Western society to the Age of Enlightenment, to the Human Rights, the right to the pursuit of happiness and the inalienable property right. Following the industrial revolution, capitalism would appear, well-being would come to more and more people, democracy would establish itself. But it all came at the cost of the depletion of resources that could lead humanity to a disaster. And transparency created an acute awareness of social injustices and unfairness of established democratic orders.

 The information (the light) that Luther demanded floods us to the point that the supposedly liberating transparency has become a goal instead of a means and finally a myth; because too much light is blinding. The artist shows it with his transparent sculptures, printed layer after layer with the terms and conditions of all the applications that govern our time and that we are given the illusion of choosing freely. These seemingly insignificant contracts have become an immense instrument of power that let social networks censor the President of the United States, symbolically the most powerful person on earth.
