eRikm has appeared on the artistic scenes in 1992.
His early experience as a musician (guitar), and as a visual artist led him to composition and turntables.
Quickly recognised as a virtuoso sound artist (1996), eRikm has made a longlife habit of crossing all territories and « world-systems » deemed "independent", "institutional".
At the same time (1997), he has developed an open and aspirational approach toward the technological media, both as a means of development for a new economic model and as an instrument for creation, production and diffusion.
His process-based work references both the intimate and political, both popular and high culture, trading off both understanding and sensation, seriousness and farce, anticipation and instinct, reason and strangeness ;but without demonstration. Rather he creates a short-circuit connection between points with his live (de)generated material – from noise to reference – presenting multiple ways to capture each moment of the present in clear focus.
Throughout his path, collaborations have naturally occurred with his audiences and contemporaries, most notably : Luc Ferrari, Christian Marclay, Akosh S., Mathilde Monnier, Bernard Stiegler, FM Einheit… The kind of coincidences which have confirmed his instinctive search for transmutation, and to play on several levels.
Since 1997, on his own or with collaborators, eRikm has toured (with 5-7 on-tour projects to date), or created by request specific pieces, both transversal or for fixed spaces (record labels, radio, festivals, art centres…)
In the meanwhile, each time building on what has emerged before, the most personal fragments from his work (notably from his early artworks in photography, drawings, visual installations and video) continue to substantiate a singular kaleidoscopic vision.
Ultimately, eRikm's research resonates through all of his work, bordering scientific discovery and a poetic curiosity of the world.
