Dear Colleagues and Friends,
The launch of my artistic project "1958-2008: from Philips Pavilion to
Explorer Art ",
will be created this year from a site of the French techno-scientisfic
conquest, listed as part of the national heritage,
I can not write more because I am currently finalizing the authorizations,
but I can already tell you that the site is monumental enough for this
new "explosion "
coming after "1957-2007: from Satellite Sputnik to Explorer Art "(*).
To become partners [EMAIL PROTECTED]
While waiting for more information, you can watch:

Born in 1970, France, Franck Ancel lives in Paris. He has been probing
technology for more than fifteen years. He has traced the development
from the avant-gardes artists of the last century to the recent
mutations of creation on a planetary scale. He has thus organized and
coordinated symposiums, expositions, and performances in cooperation
with associations and institutions. The last one was a retrospective on
Jacques Polieri, the creator of ”modern scenography,” at the BnF, Paris.
Since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Ancel has set up an interactive,
participative triptych, "A.I.T.", probing architecture, image, and
technology on 20th Century heritage sites. In 2005 he concluded a cycle
of five communications for five continents entitled "From Scenography to
the Planetary Network" with its world premiere broadcast live on the
Internet from a plane traveling between Shanghai and Munich. In 2006 he
pursued this idea with the conference "From scenography to planetary
network for Shanghai 2010" held in Silicon Valley as part of
ISEA/ZéroOne. He has just captured digital data in front of five
Guggenheim museums for his latest creation, 5G. In 2007, Ancel created a
homage to Sputnik for October 4th, date of the fiftieth anniversary of
the first object put into orbit around the planet.
