Data Loci is the text of a lecture given jointly by the architect Mariabruna Fabrizi and the artist Christophe Lemaitre. Data Loci is the arrangement of two narratives that respond to each other: on the one hand, it is an exploration of the organizing capacities of architecture in transcending its natural functions to become a means of recording knowledge; on the other hand, it tells the story that begins with the invention of photographic image banks and leads to the generative tools of machine learning.

A letter is an adaptation of the eponymous Christophe Lemaitre’s film: a hypothesis, that of language considered as a parasite for the bodies which give birth to it. Over the course of the story, the bodies of the two protagonists stretches and dilutes in the reflection of a filmed technical device, to form only one character with a dual identity.

Eyes Without A Face is a critical, incomplete directory that attempts to sketch the origins and perspectives of machine learning (otherwise known as artificial intelligence). The narrative that this non-alphabetical index sketches is based on a contemporary practice of art and its categories. The aim here is to attempt to build, in real time of a history in the making, a critical resource of machine learning from the point of view of aesthetics and art history.

La dépense was a Workshop hosted by the École nationale supérieure d’art et de design (Nancy). It was imagined and teached by Xavier Antin from 2020 to 2022, then by Christophe Lemaitre in 2022-2023. Each year, twenty students gathered to reflect on the links maintained by art (most often contemporary) and economy. This website, initiated in 2023, presents the complete archive of the glossary of La dépense, as well as the bibliographies, filmographies and sitographies of the Workshop.

Midway of the entire Postdocument project, the Reader reshapes the previous 7 issues under the direction of graphic design studio Spassky Fischer. Exclusively published in this book, issue number 8 focuses on the entry “Dimensions” (of the work). This eighth sequence brings together exhibition pictures taken in cultural institutions occupying post-industrial spaces. This architectural typology, given its influence on art practices and on their scales (within biennales, for example, often considered a context for production), takes part in the writing of today’s art history.
