I hereby state my wish to participate in the art project ‘Déberlinisation’ by Mansour Ciss, to be presented at the Biennale of Dakar (Dak’Art) in May 2002. 

My contribution to the work will be in the area of media arts, in particular, incorporating digital image processing, videography and internet communication strategies.

The work will include a website, workshops, and various mass-media activities, designed to raise consciousness, debate, discussion, acknowledgement and reflections on the theme of ‘Déberlinisation’ and the legacy of European colonialism in Africa.

Mansour Ciss creates a generator of hope   Baruch Gottlieb develops technology to transform this energy into products of hope Transparent with regard to history Irreverent of taboos   What is most exciting in this day and age is to review history with eyes afresh, acknowledging the distortions of anger and mourning. Whatever it may be   Look at the sickness of our cities The sweet ecstasy of their fear   Baruch Gottlieb Born: May 27th, 1966  - Montreal, Canada   Prototype of an ideal media organism Creative exploration…its purity protected by the art space.   Ouvrir la possibilité d’en discuter N’importe quoi   Laisser entrer le soleil Dans l’histoire Dans les histoires gênantes Non discutées       Art -> finances (Monnaie Unique Africaine)
