Long credits scroll slowly across the cinema screen, from bottom to top. First name, last name. First name, last name… This is a list of the names of all human beings. Everyone is named, and all names are displayed with equal visual prominence. The list is neither chronological nor alphabetical. The font, display size and scrolling speed allow for each name to be read.

At first, programmer in human-computer relations and artificial intelligence, Antoine Schmitt is a plastic artist who creates works in form of objects, installations and situations to broach movement and question its plastic, philosophical or social issues. Heir to kinetic art and cybernetic art, nourished by science fiction, he questions the dynamic interactions between human nature and nature of reality.
