APOcrita. Jenny Pickett and Julien Ottavi (Aug 23, 2023)

Julien Ottavi is the founder of APO33 (art and technology research lab) in France. He is a media activist, artist-researcher, composer/musician, poet and tongue destroyer, experimental filmmaker and anarchitect, founder and involved in research and creative work, combining sound art, real-time video, new technologies and body performance. His practice is not limited to the art spheres but crosses different fields from technological development to philosophy/theoretical research, biomimetic analysis and experimentation. Ottavi's work reflects on the relations between experimental practices and collective practices within the creation of autonomous collective groups, putting in question the authorship strategy of the “art ideology.”
