I Need You For My Art Project

Hello everyone. I'm a french artist, I currently live and work in Paris. So here is my art project: I would like to meet with people living in places that only few people hear a read about. I know it might be the wrong place for such a project, but I keep on trying in any international meeting website. If some of you are intersted, or know some people that I could meet with (on skype), I would be really thankfull.

What is the purpose of meeting these people :) Could you let us know a little more about your project?

Sure :)
My work is usually about travelling, I used to create only thanks to movement, going from a place to another one. The people I was meeting with, the conversations I was having and story tell became part of my work, it's more about the experiment. I'm interested about the idea of "abroad" disconnected from exotism. As I live in France now, and travel much less than before, I would like to travel through the internet, to hear stories from places I never heard about. I want to record videos from skype meetings during wich we talk about our countries,; the caricatures others have, what google image from our country show us about the other one and such...

It's hard to explain things over the internet especially art ideas that are - if I can use the word "abstract." If you can give an example of your art project it will become more clear I think what you are trying to accomplish and get more participation.

As i said it's simply a record from a skype meeting, a video of the screen.

Suzanne, it is like performance art I believe, you become part of the art.......

yes it is, something a bit conceptual, and participative

Morgane,

Good luck with your art. I live in a plain jane place called Avon, CT.

My graphics monitor is somewhat high end with a lower price tag, no camera.

Like I said good luck. It is interesting.

How will you sell your art, if you dont mind my asking?

Dave

Hello David,
Actually selling is really not the question yet, it's not a at all target for me. Thank you Isabella ;)

I saw something similar here in our local gallery once. We put on headphones in a booth in front of a tv and saw people talking but they were sitting in an empty room....just white, then these people in white... everything in white, and you just saw the faces talking.

I put on the headphones and thought.. what the..... but you know, you got into it with the big headphones on.... NO idea what they were talking about now but it sort of all worked

This sounds like an art exhibit the Walker art museum in Mn would have in there gallery. Once they had an exhibit in a gallery space with simple interior decor to draw people in. Once you stepped into the space a women would walk up to you and around the room singing. It was done in such a way that the viewer found themselves wondering if she walked in from the crown and started this or if it was par tof the space. Sounds very contemporary!
