en 1987...

Original model Original model of the Coquille at the CNAT exhibition

Mr. Fallala, Mayor of Reims, present at the opening, stops in front of my “egg”: mmmmh … Could you make a project?

from the model to the Coquille

The template

1987 - the adventure of construction

With brass, pliers, and my soldering iron, my imagination can express itself. For urban art it’s different, I’m not alone anymore. Dancers and musicians are used to working together, but sculptors…

In Reims I rediscover the pleasure of teamwork from my years in industry.

The delivery

The finishes on the Place de la République motif The Devil is in the details… The details being at a certain height that day, we practice throwing screwdrivers

The MS dos vintage computer

To relax there is PacMan, Tetris, or even chess. On the right of the screen, we can see the 18 positive lines which, crossing the 18 negative lines, give each bulb its “light rating”. The light form (the image, so to speak) is contained in 3 + 3 = 6 bytes. Note that the variable “quality” of the light - that is to say, in fact, time - requires more than fifteen bytes of memory on its own.

The score in Pascal language

The scores are written using my first “image processing” tool written in Pascal (Delphi). The pages are read and transmitted by a PC (under DOS) placed in the basement in the old pump room of the basin in the center of the Place de la République. The basin, filled in, has become the base.

The builder Mr. Caille disconcerted in front of the dismantled Luchrone

Régis Caille, the builder, is sorry to see our common work thrown away. To make way for the tramway, the new municipal team removed the Luchrone roundabout at Place de la République. The Luchrone, which was no longer maintained, was put away in the municipal workshops in 2009. This sparked a controversy.
