Théorie De La Religion

The staging is simplistic: a doll, a man and some tools. All these elements are brought together in a basement lit by several spotlights. The Man is a body and a conscience. His role is the infinite potential of sadistic will. The sexual drive, fueled by alcohol and drugs, is so strong that it erodes the carnal envelope, from the epidermis to the nerves. The doll, a model for medical simulations, is nothing but plastic. Plastic, but icon, symbol and, consequently, marked by unheimliche. A man possessed by a libidinal frenzy and a doll with feminine forms.

Solar Paludism

Jan 01, 2009
In order to meditate upon the transience of all being, the monks, in a widespread exercise, imagined a naked woman. This so-called analytic meditation began with a perfect and beautiful body, and transformed this step by step into an old, diseased, and dying one, to end the exercise by picturing a rotting and stinking corpse. The female body, as the absolute Other, was meditatively murdered and dismembered as a symbol of the despised world of the senses. – The Shadow of the Dalai Lama by Victor & Victoria Trimondi

A Documentary about violence, horror, censorship and legislation on the web. In 2009, Remy Couture, a special effects makeup artists from Quebec was arrested by the police right in front of his home and would be later charged with obscenity and corruption of morality. Montreal's police was responding to a complaint regarding pictures coming from his website Inner depravity.com which had been freely circulating on the Web. ART/CRIME discusses violence, fiction and censorship in movies but also in the loosely regulated environment that the Web still represents. The documentary allows many, like movie director Nacho Cerda, Robert Morin and Patrick Senechal to present their thoughts on the matter.

Unable to adapt to ever-accelerating technological developments and cultural paradigm shifts, the Global Ministry of Education transferred the creation of its educational softwares to the leader of Artificial Intelligence, Alphabet. The objectives: maintaining aesthetic and lexical relevance to keep the youth interested in learning while preparing them for the current and upcoming crisis (increasing atmospheric temperature and bacteriological terrorist attacks from the Third World Axis, for instance). The AI unfortunately sent an entire generation in disarray, leading children to severe mental illnesses and violent antisocial tendencies.
