La Braderie De L'Art

Stuart, Oli and I were invited to attend Le Braderie De L'Art (as were our good friends Oi Studio & WeMake), a 24-hour straight design-and-make festival in Lille, in the Nord-Pas de Calais region of France.

We systematically disassembled and re-represented found objects. This performance-process was designed to aid the viewer in changing their perceptions towards common, day-to-day "magic-box" electronic and mechanical objects.

Deconstructing, recording and re-organising the components of an archaic Nintendo Entertainment System:

Lille #1

Lille #2

NES Controller (Lille #3)

NES Breakapart (Lille #4)

We also stamped several hundred on-demand badge-postcard objects for visitors to the Braderie, using damaged and abandoned books.
