Hi and welcome on e-x-t-r-a-c-t.me, the official website of EMHA, the Extraction and Monetization of Human Assets! Over the past five years, we have been travelling from city to city, ethically and humanly collecting data about hundreds of people.
Ethically you ask? Well, yes! By being transparent regarding which information we try to collect, we are able to make you an active participant of the process, while helping you monetize your intimacy. Think about it: dreams, broken promises, doubts, and regrets, what have you done so far with this unused, unexploited information? Have you ever thought about how you could connect them? Fill their gaps? Or even compare them to the obsessions and secrets of other people?
We are here to help you with that (and we are way cheaper than a therapist)!
OPTION 1: You are an art institution, festival or museum trying to understand your public’s online behavior — attention span, travel habits, cultural consumption, acts of resistances (NEW), relationship to death (NEW) and more. Book a physical operator at extract-them-dont@e-x-t-r-a-c-t.me
OPTION 2: You are a curious individual who wants to learn more about the value of your vices and virtues. Kindly click the "Request" icon on the desktop.
OPTION 3: You are a company and would like us to advertise your product based on people’s answers. Get in touch at money-to-not@e-x-t-r-a-c-t.me
OPTION 4: You still have questions. Email us at how-do-you@e-x-t-r-a-c-t.me
Un dossier de plus pour nos archives… est un projet porté par P.B. City (Pierre Boggio & Esther Bouquet) et Nous sommes au regret (Jeanne Mathas & Laure Saffroy-Lepesqueur).
Chaque année, les travailleur·euses de l’art répondent à des dizaines d’appels à candidature. Ils inventent, écrivent, reformulent des projets en mots et en images. Ils mettent à jour leur CV, rédigent des notes d’intention, mettent en page des portfolios. Ce travail laborieux et chronophage fait partie intégrante de leur quotidien ; pour beaucoup, il est le seul moyen de trouver du travail.
Un dossier de plus pour nos archives…… est une exposition collective qui rend visible ce labeur ordinairement invisible — et interroge la manière dont le milieu de l’art considère celles et ceux sans qui il n’existerait pas.
L’exposition se tiendra du 19/09/26 au 17/10/26 dans le cadre du programme Résonance, porté par la 18e Biennale de Lyon – Art contemporain
- Vernissage le samedi 19 septembre 2026 à l'Atelier LaMezz
- Table ronde sur les thématiques de l'exposition le XX XXX 2026
