Exhibition at PIECE UNIQUE gallery, Saifi, Beirut Downtown

"Digital Visuals from Lebanon"
by Ricardo Mbarkho. © June 2008.

A series of 8 digital images, printed on photo papers, based on the numerous agreements signed by the Lebanese State since the independence of Lebanon. In order to obtain these images, the artist uses the capacity of the computer to render the files containing the texts of these agreements as if they were image files. The computer calculated the binary code of each text file and generated the corresponding image.

The series will be exhibited at PIECE UNIQUE gallery, Saifi, Beirut Downtown, in the frame of CREA NUMERICA.

From September 28 to October 6, 2009. 11h am to 7 pm.

Arameans
Lebanon (2007), Video, 3 min 36 sec

This video questions the mobility of the Arameans in the Lebanese social context; this is through the example of an Assyrian woman who has undergone one of the explosions in Beirut. Since they moved from Iraq, until their departure from Syria, are the Arameans who hold their language and their religion pursued again by terrorism in Lebanon?
