Juli Susin, IKM-12M The edition is based on a pre-existing brochure, a techni- cal guide for the modification of radio frequencies, aug- mented by 98 photographs made by the author, inserted at random among graphs and instructions for radio trans- mitters. Everyone can make their own interpretation of the facts, and treat these photos, graphics and texts as anon- ymous archives found at the bottom of a drawer of an abandoned research center, or as memory traces cross- ing the dashboard of a hybrid creature. On the cover, an illustration represents the patent of the actress Hedy Lamarr for his invention – Frequency hopping spectrum – at the origin of the Wi-Fi technology. Four special editions are presented: one copy accom- panied by the sculpture « Apyka », three copies accom- panied by the film IKM-12M realized with the assistance of Alma Charry and Jérôme Lefdup. Eighteen copies are accompanied by a silk-screen print. Lucia Sotnikova & Juli Susin, SAPIENS This publication echoes a letter from Marcel Duchamp about Michel Carouge’s Machines Célibataires: « I also like his diagnosis of my particular case of schizophrenia. Very ignorant of the gravity of my case, I am not other- wise alarmed, having already spent a good part of my life in this mist behind the glass. The edition contains 200 photographic shots of Juli Susin and Lucia Sotnikova, responding to illustrations from a book of cerebral tomography. €60 2016, Magnet River.
