Thinking about how future events might feel, 'did you know?' is a piece of speculative fiction, that has been made into a performance and a film. The fiction is set in a not too distant future, in which a collective body is deciding whether to continue to exist physically, or relinquish the pain and pleasure of bodily memories, in favour of other forms of consciousness.

"Years ago, my mother sold her house in Woodstock, Ontario. Hundreds of high dynamic range digital photos were taken to provide to the real estate agent for the online sale listing. The images were left on an SD card that was strangely stored and subject to firmware incompatibility (or some other manner of environmental degradation). Disassembling each damaged, barely-there high dynamic range photo into its light and dark component parts, I built a VHS cascade of house pieces (never quite reconstituting what was). " –C.L.L.

The world, as it is shown to us by Google Earth, is intriguing… The shapes’ imperfections, the textures’ distorsions, the suspended time, are all attributes of a new kind of universe, an hybrid one, looking more like an algorithmic fiction than our tangible reality. Earthsatz tries to amplify the cold and oppressive poetry generated by this « pocket world », where life doesn’t exist and particules are replaced by pixels. Maybe we should try to contemplate it for what it really is: a fictional universe that mimics the one we are living in, developing its own autonomy. With photogrammetry, we scanned some parts of the Google-generated world. We built 3D landscapes from them and tried to highlight their surreal caracteristics, playing with mysterious lights, impossible distortions and moving points of view. "Earthsatz" is a ride in this corrupted world, celebrating all its fictional, articificial and irrational aspects.

It was the most destructive natural disaster in the history of Europe: On November 1, 1755, an earthquake shook the seabed off Lisbon. Buildings collapse in the city, thousands of people die. The survivors flee to the port - and are surprised by a huge tsunami wave. If it hadn't happened on All Saints' Day, the Lisbon catastrophe would certainly not have been so devastating. A large proportion of people perish in the churches where the faithful have just gathered to worship. To this day, no one knows how many actually died from the earthquake. Estimates speak of up to 100,000 dead. The reason for the disaster: off the Portuguese coast, several continental plates are colliding at the bottom of the Atlantic, there is an increased danger of earthquakes - until today. A research team is currently examining the Gulf of Cadiz for traces. The aim is to set up an effective tsunami early warning system.
