Stop Motion + post process

The Videozarts association invited me to make ​​three one-minute films for the One Minute Haiku Festival proposed at Scopitone 2006 in Nantes, France.

There was no set theme, the only constraint was the timing. So I resumed my ideas outlined in 2003 including "The Summoning, The Fight, The Hunt" and "Ritual".

These haikus describe a universe based on the human / computer relationship.
Are staged on the one hand, elements of computers: printed circuit boards, processors, fans, hard drives etc ..., and on the other hand, an avatar, synthetic incarnation of the user in control of his machine to work, communicate, learn, explore, dream or play.

It's a dream world which transposes the cold universe of electronic tools in the form of a tale of legend or mythology, where machine-time is understood as a deity. The avatar is subject to the complexity of the system, the mood of the Great central processor, and for his good graces, he must meet a variety of protocols, and their multitude can turn a simple idea into a legendary quest.

It's a world of ever smaller, faster, more powerful machines, where space and time contract in an increasingly denser and indecipherable body, its gravity driving millions of avatars to become totally dependent on a few square millimeters of silicon.
