French-American artist Marc Fichou takes us on a fascinating journey into his creative process with this publication of his Carnet, one of many notebooks he has filled with the thoughts, puzzles, and lines of inquiry that have guided his work over the years in a variety of media, from video installation to sculpture and painting. This book lies in between image and text but also philosophy and art, even memoir and fiction. Do we look at it or read it? Or do we practice both at once, wrestling with the differences between seeing and thinking, contemplation and action, beauty and truth? Fichou takes this ambivalent experience as a starting point for explorations of a personhood that, defined since Descartes as a subjective "inner life" (core or essence) we control and express, feels increasingly decentered, networked, and cybernetic. At the interfaces of the human and the machinic, the organic and the technical, he looks to the imaginative possibilities as well as the dangers that exist for people who no longer exactly know themselves through traditional categories of identity, intention, autonomy. . .and even art itself. *** L'artiste franco-amรฉricain Marc Fichou nous invite ร un voyage fascinant au sein de son processus crรฉatif avec cette publication de Carnet, un carnet parmi les nombreux qu'il a rempli de pensรฉes, questionnements, et recherches qui ont guidรฉ son travail sur les annรฉes dans une variรฉtรฉ de mรฉdiums, de l'installation vidรฉo ร la sculpture et la peinture. Ce livre se situe entre l'image et le texte, la philosophie et l'Art, la nature et l'artifice, l'humain et la technique (sans mentionner le franรงais et l'anglais), et mรชme entre le journal intime et la fiction. Le regarde-t-on ou le lit-on ? Ou pratiquons-nous les deux ร la fois, confrontant les diffรฉrences entre voir et penser, la contemplation et l'action, la beautรฉ et la vรฉritรฉ ? Fichou prend cette expรฉrience ambivalente comme le point de dรฉpart d'explorations d'une identitรฉ individuelle, dรฉfinie depuis Descartes comme vie intรฉrieure subjective (noyau ou essence) que nous contrรดlons et exprimons, qui se ressent de plus en plus comme dรฉcentrรฉe, en rรฉseau et cybernรฉtique. Son livre est rempli de paradoxes, qui pour lui tรฉmoignent de ce changement spatio-temporel : des rubans de Moebius, des ensembles infinis, des hypercubes, des formes en tore, des boucles de rรฉtroaction; tous pointent vers les possibilitรฉs รฉmergentes qui existent pour ceux qui ne se reconnaissent plus tout ร fait dans les catรฉgories traditionnelles de l'identitรฉ, de l'intention, de l'autonomie ... et d'ailleurs de l'art lui-mรชme.
