Motion graphics & Vj'ing

In started motion design and vj'ing in 2006 building PLAY Collective with Elr°y, bastarggraphics, Pierre Vanni, Ease and melka for the Nuits Sonores festival in Lyon where we we've been asked to prepare and play videos for the whole 1st stage. We didnt wanted to do Vj'ing as everybody else so ( fractals and other shit like that) as good graphic designers we decided to orientate our vj'ing around motion graphic loops.
Since we played a bit everywhere in the world fromp NYC to Sydney, passing by Berlin or barcelona, for artists like Ellen Allien, Justice, Modeselektor, Paraone, Apparat, Miss Kittin, Busy.P, Danger, Data, Fedaden, Humanleft, Superpitcher, Brodinski, James Holden, Nathan Fake, Damian Lazarus, Don Rimini, Bloody Beetroots, Dj Orgasmic, Fairmont, Jean Nipon, Thomas Schumacher, Kap10Kurt, Soulwax, Da Fresh, Ddamage, LeeMender, Quenum, Dan Curtin, Glimpse, GPunkt, Trashbags Dj Crew, VDRK, G.L.O.V.E.S, Orange Dub, ...
or also The Procussions, Dj Revolution, Dj Logilo, Drixxé, Scred'Connexion, ...

In the same time, we started to learn basics of motion graphics to do some advertisements and videoclips for Warner Music or Ekler'o'shock, well this is just a beginning...

Graffiti arts

I grew up in a street and graffiti environment but each time i tried to do flops or pieces i was doing so big shits that i prefered to work graphic design and hopefully, years later, in October 2006 to be exact, my friend Gutter explained me how he painted and so i tried again... it was really better than when i was teenager ! Since i did around 30 canvas, and walls in Toulouse mainly, then in Pointz in the Queens, NYC... well... to be continued, coz even if i think i well understood basic techniques of graffiti, i didnt found my own style yet that's why i'm more doing photorealistic stuff for the moment, graphic design and graffiti are two very diferent things.
