Ubiq: A Mental Odyssey (which borrows its title from Philip K. Dick's Ubik and Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey) proposes to construct a "mental space" through a narrative - mixing ravers, science-fiction and comic strips - presented through illuminations in the style of old children's books.
For this book, Mathieu Briand chose to encounter the writer Daniel Foucard, a hard-to-classify author (of, amongst others, Novo and Cold, in 2006 - and, Civil, in 2008) often associated with new textualities crossed with cybernetics, mutations and schizophrenia, and whose obsession is to want to inhabit a new territory, like the reformed pirates imagined in this book. He then slides in a few strips from his childhood hero, the Argentine comic strip artist, Juan Gimenez.
This artistic proposition is concerned with diversion, role-plays, "parallel" worlds in a playful and interactive to-and-fro between images and text. Its result is a diffracted narrative in which the book becomes a playground as well as what's at stake in that artistic experience that unites the two protagonists of this book.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The work of French multimedia artist Mathieu Briand confounds our preconceptions of visual language by drawing on sources outside traditional art practices. He embraces a domain that encompasses electronic media and music, the sciences, new technology, architecture, phenomenology and virtual space, as well as the protocols of games and rituals. Consequently his work is often produced in collaboration with other artists, scientists, engineers and philosophers, making him an especially appropriate candidate for Dis Voir's new Encounters series, which allows contemporary artists to collaborate with colleagues they would otherwise not come across, on a specific artist's book project they would otherwise not have initiated. Ubiq: A Mental Odyssey (the title amalgamates Philip K. Dick's Ubik and Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey) is presented as a 'science fiction photo-roman book tour,' with Mathieu Briand as our tour guide. For the journey he has enlisted the writer, Daniel Foucard, who shares Briand's own unusual synthesis of seemingly disparate genres with characters more or less junkies, more or less monomaniacs, more or less lost type and who has mixed Briand's narrative with his own work.
