l’art dans l’hyper modernité en le<br />

dématérialisant”.<br />

Quand nos visiteurs économiques<br />

repartent ébranlés par cette vision<br />

<strong>du</strong>ale de nos groupes dans La <strong>Demeure</strong><br />

<strong>du</strong> <strong>Chaos</strong>, je ne peux m’empêcher<br />

de leur dire: vous n’avez<br />

encore rien vu ! Ce que nous allons<br />

vivre dans les toutes prochaines<br />

années dépassera de très<br />

loin tous les écrits d’anticipation et<br />

de science fiction…<br />

Pour comprendre la <strong>du</strong>alité de ma<br />

démarche de plasticien et de bâtisseur<br />

<strong>du</strong> savoir, je reprendrai la<br />

citation de mon vieux maître Pythagore<br />

le premier des philosophes<br />

pour lequel tout est nombre, à l’exception<br />

des essences que sont les<br />

émotions humaines non quantifiables,<br />

indicibles et se jouant des<br />

nombres.<br />

entire art market into hypermodernity<br />

by dematerialising it.”<br />

When our economic visitors leave<br />

the <strong>Abode</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Chaos</strong> somewhat<br />

shaken by this <strong>du</strong>al vision <strong>of</strong> our<br />

activities, I can’t resist telling<br />

them: “you ain’t seen nothing yet!”<br />

What we will experience over<br />

the next few years will far exceed<br />

many <strong>of</strong> the existing anticipatory<br />

or science fiction writings on the<br />

matter.<br />

488 489<br />

To better summarize my <strong>du</strong>al reasoning<br />

as an artist and knowledge<br />

builder, I would quote my old master<br />

Pythagoras, the first philosopher<br />

for whom everything was<br />

numbers except for the essences<br />

which are human emotions that<br />

are unquantifiable, inexpressible<br />

and number defying…<br />
