This project is developed in the framework of the Reflective Interaction Research Group of EnsadLab, the research laboratory of the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs (EnsAD, PSL University – Paris) with the support of The Chaire arts et sciences of the École polytechnique, the EnsAD-PSL and the Daniel and Nina Carasso Foundation.
The first version of this projet was realised in the framework of the Interactive party dispositif Discontrol Party v.3, for 'We are not the number we think we are', an event of the Daniel & Nina Carasso Foundation in partnership with the 'Chaire arts & sciences', the Cité internationale des arts and of the dance festival 'Faits d'hiver' of micadanses.

Datarase is an installation that implements and valorizes the destruction of digital data as close as possible to their place and time of production. The walls of a large dark room are covered with bricks, projected bricks, each of them representing a batch of information grouped under a single identifier. For its first version, each brick displays its "ID" which corresponds to an actor in Discontrol Party (spectator, camera, tag, smartphone, etc.) and therefore to a set of data related to the capture of a sequence of activity of this actor. Appearing from above, these bricks thus indexed descend to form lines that then disappear, like a game of brick breakers. Thus represented, this disappearance is not less real: it signs the concrete erasure of these data. Deployed on the bangs of data-producing events, like Discontrol Party, Datarase presents itself as a kind of lounge, protected from any capture, immersing its audience in a graphic and sound environment in order to give them the opportunity to contemplate and think about the necessity of a digital degrowth that passes through the acceptance and even the pleasure of erasure.
