EQUINOX ◆ TETSUO FURUDATE

Dubbed as a contemporary alchemist who “bewitches pixels”, French visual artist Jacques Perconte has been disrupting video and digital signals since his student years at the University of Bordeaux in the 1990s when he discovered the world of net art. Fascinated by possibilities of the digital medium and informed by the history of experimental filmmaking, DIY and hacker culture, Perconte has been developing for the last 20 years a unique aesthetic and ethical approach to digital filmmaking, with an aim to reveal the hidden landscape beneath the surface of the digital image.
