Game Art: "Philippe Safire's Endless Stories..." Part 1-4 (2010)

"Endless Stories… consists of an assemblage of colored pixels, each containing text, images or videos. Philippe Safire alludes to the act of writing by integrating latin, cyrillic, chinese, japanese, arabic or sanskrit characters. The project Endless Stories… is composed of 4 distinct parts in which the artist evokes different ways of reading: left to right, up and down, right to left, and down and up. Lines progressively appear, then disappear, leaving their place to new elements. Safire speaks to the saturation of images in modernity, and also to their hypnotic properties. The title refers to methods of communication in which the strategy is to tell seductive stories, and thus to create new realities. The human brain is solicited from everywhere, but can never truly be receptive to the totality of messages contained in this infinite flux of information. Instead, the viewer finds herself in an alienated state, and can only anticipate the next story." (Philippe Safire)
