Franck Ancel Born in 1970, France, Franck Ancel lives in Paris. He has been probing technology for more than fifteen years. He has traced the development from the avant-garde artists of the last century to the recent mutations of creation on a planetary scale. He has thus organized and coordinated symposiums, expositions, and performances in cooperation with associations and institutions. The last one was a retrospective on Jacques Polieri, the creator of "modern scenography," at the BnF. Since the attacks of 9/11, Franck Ancel has set up an interactive triptych probing "architecture - image - technology" on 20th century heritage sites. In 2002, he put it in the Le Corbusier/Xenakis convent; in 2003 in a classified theater in Catalogne; and in 2004 on the screen of Montparnasse Tower in Paris. Franck Ancel challenges the viewer outside traditional frontiers, by projecting a setting of a network of information on screens. At the same time, he analyzes this technique on a more theoretical level in texts and talk. It encloses thus in 2005 a cycle of five communications for five continents. |
