Shore Signals
A milieu produces a signal. The signal summons an action. The response may be completed, delayed, prevented or refused. The research observes the gap between the signal and that response.
HYPOTHESIS A protocol to be tested. No constituted occurrence is published.
How can an ordinary action, actually carried out, produce a form without being embellished, dramatised or explained in advance?

First studies
3 documented, none published
A real everyday action is recorded, recounted and then examined. A question chosen by the artist opens an after-the-event poem and may lead to an HTML form.
DOCUMENTED FACT Three studies exist in the private archive. Their materials are not published here.
How do a date and time become a form, an identifier and a point of closure?

Latest closure
Seven documents dated from 2012 to 2026 show how timestamping, its separators and frames become visual forms.

METHOD
Each research project has its own temporality.
A work can be completed. Research may remain open, become interrupted, resume or give rise to another form.
States do not indicate degrees of success. The protocol makes visible the conditions, variations, passages and moments of closure.
CRITICAL LEGEND
Distinguish what is documented from what remains to be tested.
Documented fact
An element supported by a document or an identified source, within the limits of that evidence.
Interpretation
A reading proposed from the documents, distinct from what they directly establish.
Hypothesis
A proposition or protocol to be tested.
Unverified
Information mentioned whose verification has not been established.
Unknown
Missing information or a question unanswered at this stage.
DAX RICAUD
Artist.
His conceptual practice is built through research, gestures, protocols and situations. According to the needs of each work, it may draw on drawing, painting, photography, video, action or archival forms.
Each elapsed second advances one position in the sequence. The counter displays that index, not the value of the Fibonacci number. It places the site's continuous time alongside the discontinuous temporalities of research: its relevance remains to be tested through practice, without measuring productivity.
