• Tell us in few words about you. I’m a conceptual photographer, born in Liege, with a research focus on the urban landscape and the architecture. My work is a critical view at humanity through its architecture.Trained as an interior architect, I’ve worked several years in architecture and urbanism firms as a designer and graphic designer, before devoting myself exclusively to the photography. My photographs are regularly exhibited in Belgium, France and The Netherlands. They are widely spread via international blogs specialized in art and architecture.
• What motivated you to become an artist? I’ve started my artistic life with the design. At that time, I wanted to give through my furniture creations a view of the world. Later, I felt like talking to the world in a more direct manner. It occurs to me that the fairest medium for that was fine arts rather that applied arts.
• Tell us a bit about your work habits.My work habits are quite structured. In general I start working at 9 am and finish at 8 pm. The days starts with reading, then with the web to keep me up to date of the new things, emails… The biggest part of the day is devoted to outside shooting or postproduction work.
• What inspires and provokes imagination in you? The Human comedy
• Does your work reflect your person? Before I would have answered no, but maybe yes because order and rigor in my work help me to get structured.
• The adjective that best describes you? Self made.
• Le mot que vous préférez ?« Oufti ! » ( A Belgium expression that means you crazy)

Xavier Delory - in exhibition ART TRUC TROC
THE BIGGEST EXHIBITION EVENT OF CONTEMPORARY ART IN BELGIUM !Vendredi 27.01.2012 19:00 > 02:00Samedi 28.01.2012 14:00 > 23:00Dimanche 29.01.2012 10:00 > 18:00
The “Truc Troc” has a unique and original concept. At the expo, the visitor can trade anything he wishes for a piece of art at its estimated value: an object, service, material, trip, … that might interest the artist. No money is involved, only unexpected and unique exchanges.
The visitor that has been seduced by a piece of art can propose his swap and leave his name and phone number on a post-it that he leaves next to the piece he likes. The artist, present on the premises, will decide wheather he wants to call him back, negociate a bit more or confirm the swap, on that same day or on another.

«Truc Troc» jouit d’un concept unique et original. Lors de l’exposition, le visiteur est invité à troquer objet, service, matériau, voyage ou tout autre proposition issue de son imagination et susceptible de convenir à l’artiste contre une oeuvre d’art et sa valeur pressentie. Il n’est donc pas question ici d’argent mais uniquement d’échanges inédits et insolites.
Le visiteur une fois séduit par une oeuvre, proposera son troc ainsi que ses coordonnées sur un post-it qu’il placera à côté de celle-ci. L’artiste présent sur place aura le libre-arbitre de le joindre ou non afin de négocier ou confirmer l’échange, soit sur le moment même soit ultérieurement.

Tweet Your Blood Cells With New iPhone Adaptor. One of our favorite Kickstarter projects stopped by the Gadget Lab a few days ago. The SkyLight is an adaptor that connects your smartphone to a microscope, then allows you to share the photos and videos you capture. From their project description:
The SkyLight’s universal compatibility allows previously owned technology (microscopes) to be upgraded to the digital age with the use of a widely available technology (smartphones) – good for global health, science classes, and anyone else!
Pretty amazing, this “future” thing is turning out to be.
(UPDATE: You know what? I’m going to add more people tonight when I get home from work. I think this list needs to be all or nothing, so obviously I’ll go with ALL. It’s just going to have to wait another seven hours or so. Watch your dash for more later!)
