Cavities are defined as the empty spaces inside solid bodies. Yet they are often filled with organs, fluids, electromagnetic frequencies and other ever-changing, versatile agents.
Infrastructures are sets of interdependent elements that support all or part of a structure or network. The prefix infra means below, lower down, but also evokes the invisible. Invisible of this world* : the concept of the void may here give way to the extreme, turbid materiality that makes up hollows and underground passages. This moving matter organizes itself to the rhythm of an infrabass that organizes itself to the rhythm of moving matter, the infinite logic of distorted feedback.
The multiple, non-essential body emerging from the darkness becomes images, interactions, forces and bastardized interstices. Matter imagines itself, but never on its own, and, full of desire, spews out its distorted echoes.

* ici-bas in french, would be translated literally by down-here.

Bobby Brim is a transdisciplinary artist who composts their soul according to the cyborg entities they meet on their way.
Fluid, creator of images, installations, sounds and digital troubles, they are working on producing data-producing monsters and exploring autonomous worlds.
Pixels, decibels, waves, bodies and collectives are the concrete materials that allow them to probe the transgressive spaces in a post-conspiratorial world.
