Call of online participation : le corps social
a multimedia installation
by Stéphanie Lagueux, a Studio XX coproduction

The Social Body is a video and web installation in which surfers on the web, through their responses, affect a body modelled in fat. Demonstrating the powerful effect of ideas on matter by a process of "art-statistics", this sensitizing device evokes the massive influence of the social body on each individual one.

In the summer 2005, Stéphanie Lagueux has worked in the lab of Studio XX to achieve an extension of her projet /le corps social/ ( the social body). With the invaluable help of Jean-Sébastien Sénéchal, an artist and programmer, the web site and the installation are now interconnected with a database wich keep results of visitors activity on the website. The installation was presented at Studio XX on the Journées de la culture and will stay in situ for few weeks. The website has been upgraded and translated, in part, in over last few days.

To experience the social body anew, the artist invites the generous participation of the public at this adress : http://projets.studioxx.org/projets/corpsocial/index.php http://www.cliquezgenereusement.com/

Please note there is still time to register for the next week's workshop:
INSTALLING A NEW MEDIA EXHIBITION
A 2 day workshop in English, October 11 and 12, at OBORO
