exhibited work: SpaceJunk beta 1.0

“L’homme pense que les cieux qui entourent sa demeure sont un endroit paisible, proche du néant. Cette idée est terriblement fausse, car l’espace est tout sauf vide. Des débris de toutes tailles flottent partout, en orbite autour de la Terre. Avec l’exploration de l’espace, la multiplication des satellites représente un risque calculé dans la mesure où ceux qui les envoient là-haut calculent les probabilités pour que le satellite ne rentre pas en collision avec quelque chose dássez gros pour l’abîmer, voire le détruire.
La vidéo SpaceJunk beta 1.0, réalisée par le jeune artiste portugais Miguel Soares, met en scène dans des images de synthèse un anneau virtuel composé de satellites et d’objects divers (canettes de coca-cola, bijoux, etc)”.

migso002 cd includes 30 musics I composed and recorded between September 2001 and February 2002.
The music was composed using computer and audio software. In the cd booklet are images from the Bug series from 1999 where I photographed a small mechanic toy with a laser pointer attached, inside a mirror cube. The mirror cube is courtesy of Tiago Batista. The cd was released by Variz, ref.003den, a small independent electronic music label in Lisbon.
