"Pure Data Read as Pure Data" can be envisaged as an observation of the machine by itself, proposing a physical experience of the numeric data and its different languages and contents. In the video version, as a tautological process, the content of the Pure Data application is read as pure data that are directly displayed as sounds and pixels. This is a concrete exploration of the binary code and its intrinsic qualities (structure, logic, rhythm, redundancy, compression) immediately returned by the computer in the form of visual and sound flows. A direct immersion in the heart of digital abstractions.

"Rodrigue Jean gives voice to people who have nearly drowned. The story of their disaster and the lessons they have drawn from it make us think that life is born of water and flows somewhat like a river. We are born in a state something like a spring. This spring becomes a stream, we travel through forests, winding our way around obstacles to finally arrive at the river where our water merges with other water, like a new and clear consciousness. There is a proverb which states that great rivers are made up of small streams. In this way we all contribute to something that is greater than us and which carries us along to something even greater still." Herménégilde Chiasson
