Description of 3 works

The project is a web page geolocating the user's position on Google Maps. The page contains one button, which once clicked relocates symbolically the user at the antipodes of its real physical position by showing a pin on the same Google tool. The URL constitutes the title and also a pretty straight forward indication of what the
For creating this project, I had to code, using HTML5 to get the ability of asking the users to share their position. CSS was used for some simple formal adjustments. The biggest part of the work was to use the Google Application Programming Interface, one of Google's tools for creating the code that would generate the interaction. By getting the user's coordinates and applying it into a simple mathematical operation I would get the antipodes to apply to the map.
I wanted to do a project that would be, as most of my work, totally web based although short circuiting one of the biggest assumption when it comes to browsing the Internet. Not every content is accessible the same way all over the world. Very often we forget the importance of our physicality when we browse the Internet as if it was a complete disembodied experience.
Wifi : an Island in an Island
"An Island in an Island" is a local network enabling the view of a "contemplative" 3D landscape. By browsing the Wifi Networks with a connectable device, a user can find the opened Network. By joining An Island in an Island, any new opened web page would redirect to the work, whatever the user would like . This router didn't allow access to the Internet but just to the content it contained.
I used a TP link router on which in installed the open source OpenWrt firmware. That way I managed to configure the object that would emit the wifi network serving as a gateway to the work. A usb stick plugged into the router hosted the web content
Using this strategy was enabling not putting the work online but made accessible through a private local network. Also, Somehow it could be considerate
122 x 59,5 x 10,5 mm
"122 x 59,5 x 10,5 mm" is a book compiling about 8 months of visual content generated by my Sony Xperia P smartphone. There is no real conceptual organization. Screenshots, pictures, paintings, icons are just bluntly arranged page after page. Also, the title relates to the device's measurements as a physical object.
