Kortunefookie!

Summer window project

Throughout July 2009
Launch (during Rotation, Rotation!): June 27, 2009 from 1pm to 5pm

Imagine an enormous cedar fortunecookie that distributes, at the push of a button, fortunes that range from zany to philosophical and you have Kortunefookie!

Kortunefookie is an interactive public art project that seeks out your participation. To add your social reflections, useless quotes, random spiritual messages or snappy rhetoric to the growing list, visit http://www.kortunefookie.com/ Let your imagination guide you! The short texts will be printed by Kortunefookie during the month of July while it resides in front of articule gallery.

Jean-François Lacombe's past is decidedly multidisciplinary. He has conceived environment designs and installations, as well as interactive and graphic solutions for various communication problems.
Today, his artistic practice is tributary to his many experiences. This synthesis manifests itself in his work with objects, images and spaces, and emphasizes the interactive potential of networks. He aims to enrich daily experiences, charging them with imagination to allow new outlooks to emerge from reality.
Jean-François Lacombe is an artist, designer, professor at ÉMI in Outaouais. His teaching faculties are exhibition design and interactivity. He shares in time between Montreal and Ottawa.
