Empruntant son titre à P.K. Dick et à S. Kubrick, ce livre est le résultat d'une expérience d'écriture à quatre mains entre un artiste (M. Briand) et un écrivain (D. Foucard) inventant un récit où se mêlent rave party, science fiction et bandes dessinées. Il est question de détournement, de jeu de rôle où le livre devient le jeu et l'enjeu de l'expérience artistique. ©Electre 2025
Ubiq : a mental odyssey (which borrows its title from Philip K. Dick's Ubik and Stanley Kubrick's 2001 : a space odyssey) proposes to construct a « mental space » through a narrative-mixing ravers, science-fiction and comic strips-presented through illuminations in the style of old children's books.
For this book, Mathieu Briand chose to encounter the writer Daniel Foucard, a hard-to-classify author (of, amongst others, Novo and Cold, in 2006 - and, Civil, in 2008) often associated with new textualities crossed with cybernetics, mutations and schizophrenia, and whose obsession is to want to inhabit a new territory, like the reformed pirates imagined in this book. he then slides in a few strips from his childhood hero, the Argentinean comic strip artist, Juan Giménez.
This artistic proposition is concerned with diversion, role-plays, « parallel » worlds in a playful and interactive to-and-fro between images and text. its results is a diffracted narrative in which the book becomes a playground as well as what's at stake in that artistic experience that unites the two protagonists of this book.
