« Ignorance of the law is no excuse. »

Could one inhabit the law / could one be inhabited by the law ?

As an introduction to a research about law, Bug in the code is an
ongoing experimentation aimed at having various species of termites
learn by heart the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

This work, which is complicated par transmission problems and the lack
of good will by the termites may however be presented as a
techno-chamanism interference ritual, close to the experiment in
laboratory, to legal practices and to sound poetry.


THE INSTALLATION is composed of a vivarium hosting a colony of
termites plus a printed version of the text of law, and of a sound and
visual recording device.
An in situ variant my consist in intervening directly on a local
termites' nest.


*

THE PERFORMANCE :
Iterative and retroactive sur-interpretation protocols allow us to
shape the context which is shared by humans and non-humans. In order
to do so, we use audiovisual recording and broadcasting techniques,
digital signal processing and analysis tool to feed possession and
invocation process.

*

THE PUBLICATION freezes a final step in this process allowing viral
dissemination of the digital and printed material.
