Hekkah, je publie donc je suis is an interactive device created by Raphaël Isdant and Thomas Cheneseau. The project proposes a connected digital mirror, reflecting visitors in the form of an avatar tattooed with texts from live exchanges produced by web communities. Hekkah, omniscient and curious digital entity, inhabits social networks in order to feed itself with the stories of our daily life.
The project consists of an interactive video installation and a twitter profile, which interact with each other, publish content and build new relationships online. Between fetishistic bot of the networks and informational sculpture, the project invites to a reflection on a social identity as much isolated as collective, reflection of a human community wishing to expose itself sometimes without limit. Hekkah(backwards Hakkéh or Hackée?) develops moreover a questioning on the influence and the perenniality of the social platforms in order to exploit some drifts of it. https://twitter.com/Hekkah_
