Olivier is a multimedia artist based in Paris. He has worked as a VJ and video projection/installation artist since 2001. His most recent work is as part of the AntiVJ label/collective who work on large scale projections that extropolate, explore and deconstruct the architectural spaces for which they are constructed. Olivier has performed in the role of VJ at many a music festival (Mutek in 2009 for example where the Sogdo AntiVJ piece was presented) but its is perhaps his presence on the bill of the inaugural Mapping Festival in 2005 that mark him as a key contributor to the development of VJing and projection/mapping art more generally. It is interesting that the Mapping Festival was run by the ‘conceptors’ of VJing application Modul8 which was amongst the first out of the box applications to allow for the multidimensional keying of projection elements to angled surfaces. That multidimensional mapping has become a central component of Ratsi’s work with AntiVJ. Ratsi has also created a collection of digital stills that reconstruct the austere neo-liberal/modernist architectures and forms of the contemporary cityscape (WYSI*not*WYG). The result is a set of hallucinatory architectures that look a little like the forms of glitchy inorganic structures of 8 bit video games made real. Those architectures perhaps recall a forgotten future where all forms of aesthetic and material economy and determination were ignored in the service of playful form. At other times the WYSI*not*WYG images remind us of the way the original structures impose themselves and construct an urban landscape. The images partially deconstruct the urban cityscape so that we see a past and an alternative city shining though the digitally deconstructed sections of buildings juxtaposed with now unsupported architectural elements that jut starkly into once uninterrupted sections of sky. The reconstructed cityscape provides a digital virtuality against which we once again start to see the present. This is work that finds dynamic extension in the AntiVJ project Songdo (2009) which uses motion graphic projected in high resolution to affect a radical extrapolation and deconstruction of the architecture for which it was built.
