Suppose all the information stored on computers everywhere were linked. Suppose I could program my computer to create a space in which everything could be linked to everything.

Elephant seals survive on only two hours of sleep. Why can’t we?
“When it comes to ocean diving, no seal can compete with the elephant seal. While on the hunt for their deep-dwelling squid and fish prey, these blubbery behemoths hold their breath for up to two hours and can plunge a mile beneath the surface; they skirt hungry orcas and withstand pressures that would flatten a junkyard car.”

This work is based on an image that I had already redefined in certain details but was not entirely satisfied with.
I am deeply drawn to the subject of primordial Chaos, and I was captivated when I discovered this image, which is located in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Bergamo, Lombardy, northern Italy.
What compelled me to rework it was that the original image felt extremely rigid. I sought to lighten it by subtracting certain elements.
Creation myths have always fascinated me, and this “being” was conceived by Lorenzo Lotto and inlaid by the craftsman Giovanni Francesco Capoferri.

When Marie de Cossette selected me to design one of these scarves, I felt like I was the right person at the right time. I am a cyclist. Cycling is a lifestyle for me.
I use it as a means of transport, but the bicycle has always been my time machine. When I pedal, I am immediately in another world: my interior. Furthermore, the bike allows you to look at the world from another point of view, it is a clean means of locomotion and makes you stay in contact with your body, always.
Keeping all this in mind, I imagined a character who carried within himself the “sense” of moving by bike and that sense of freedom that this vehicle allows you to feel. And it is a freedom based on your feelings and on your strength and will.
Traveling by bicycle, as I said before, allows the cyclist to look at the world from another perspective. From here, then, through the use of my digital collage I placed a pair of bicycle-shaped glasses on the main protagonist’s nose. I think the best ideas are the simplest.

Introduction to the topic.
Why and how did the Western Roman Empire disappear?
This question continues to haunt thinkers and historians.
In AD 9, more than four centuries before the deposition of the last Western Emperor, a first rift occurs with the defeat of the legions against German tribes.

On April 30th, just before International Workers’ Day on May 1st, the collective Contributive will officially launch The Declaration of Contributors’ Rights. This document also serves as a kind of manifesto, and I approached it with this perspective.
Tous et Chacun – Each and everyone
This is the slogan developed by Carole Lipsyc in her introductory text for the Declaration.
I envision this image as an archetypal symbol, representing the essence of Contributive Action and sparking the imagination.
Below are some variations of this theme.
The image was printed in 100 copies, providing a tangible object of value for the participants.

The goal is to transition from a society based on competition to an inclusive society of mutual aid and cooperation.
