He was involved at the time in a variety of their events, which helped make Amsterdam renowned for its digital public culture. He is now mainly involved in the 'political' diffusion of free software, sharing knowledge and Open organisations. He also acts as a strong partisan of 'artist conviviality', helping to create meetings and 'cooling' or de-stressing events during cultural events - often overloaded.

These aggregates of individuals, often from various domaines,used to explore and experiment new devices and look at the outcome in their work and practice. Some renowned groups emerged after 1945, such as the Group of research in music and its induction into image making: 'le Service de la Recherche de l'ORTF' influenced and managed by Pierre Schaeffer. Nowadays, in a society where technology occupies all the fields, Groups have evolved into communities that share the same interests, objectives and passions. They practise networking, and thus share their knowledge and broaden their communities' horizons. What are the new contents, technologies, interactions, compared to the inventive and overpowering ancestors of the '60? What marks have these left behind them? How come what used to be called 'mass media' have now become essential in our society?

BOTs are a new approach to some digital phenomena: networks, immobile multigeolocation, inter-connections of on-line interventions and processing of immediate data, automating a certain treatment of reality and, especially in the BOT case, opening up a field for permanent and ubiquitous experimentation. This festival will give us a chance to verify if, via the BOT, we can create a collective piece of music or a sound piece, by bringing together at the same time the works of various performers and performing machines!

His music is impulsive, powerful and direct like an earthquake's. A mixture of screams, elusive noises and other forms of sound, his sonority resounds in the listener's body through amplification, mirroring his/her moving body, playing on the extreme, and the rough sound upsets our soul, shifts our sensations to a universe of barely audible microevents and nuances.
