Lucas Lejeune : part five

What are you working on?

I am currently the resident writer in Castel Coucou, a contemporary art space in an old French synagogue. This religious building inspired me to work from religious texts, combining them with technological elements. The final piece may or may not be the fake translation of an imaginary codex, written by a fictional, digital entity. In the final book, this "original" text would be partially decoded, transcripted, translated and commented (thus giving hints about the sources, protocols and constraints used). A visual piece might go with the book, as a reproduction of the "raw data" from which the original text would come from. My goal is to generate the feeling of a mysterious, parallel, global, high-tech religion like one from Science-Fiction. I want to achieve this in a more chaotic, abstract, cryptic and fragmented way than a story would do, which is why I use poetry instead of fiction.
