eRikm is a French improviser, composer and visual artist [1] who has been active in art since 1992. He is noted for his work with turntables.

Quickly recognised as a virtuoso turntablist and sound artist, eRikm has made a longlife habit of crossing all territories and « world-systems » deemed "independent", "institutional".

At the same time, 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 work references both the intimate and political, both popular and high culture.

He is most well known for his improvisational collaborations. Notable collaborators include: Luc Ferrari, Christian Marclay, Dieb13, Otomo Yoshihide, Mathilde Monnier, Les percussions de Strasbourg, and FM Einheit.

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.

Post Poire_Z
gollark: "Shoot" is also a gun-industry-perpetuated myth.
gollark: Just do more political arguments here, *then* it'll work!
gollark: Among many other things.
gollark: Fair. Hopefully it'll eventually get standardized and they won't be able to go around blocking secure traffic without just disconnecting themselves from the internet. Which they... could still do, I guess.
gollark: Odd of them to block it when it's still in a draft form and not implemented in browsers (or at least not on by default).
