Gestures and physical postures when using new mobile technology are proving to play an important role in our daily routine. Here and there people are talking on a mobile phone, and sometimes just with the air, using hands-free, listening to players, playing portable game consoles … This is exactly the side of our life that photographer Christophe Beauregard reflected.
The latest technologies are already widespread, they know about them everywhere, however, not everyone uses them, but the majority. The photographer has visited various cities and took many pictures. The photographs came out simply amazingly poetic, because all this is our life. We often do not notice how we behave when "communicating" with technology. When talking on the phone, we can assume strange postures without even noticing it. Holding a console in their hands, children, adolescents and even adults do not even see how they look from the outside. To tell the truth, they see nothing at all, except for a small screen in front of them … Sitting at the computer, we also don’t think a bit why we are sitting anyway. And even if we are uncomfortable, we do not realize it immediately.
The photographer tried to reflect the whole reality of our life, put all his emotions into the pictures and, of course, conveyed the feelings and their absence in the people captured in the frames. Most often, of course, emotions are present on our face. Reading good news from the monitor, we can smile without even knowing it, but listening to the radio on the street, we laugh out loud, and do not care about the opinion of others. However, isn't the role of the latest technologies in our lives too great? Perhaps, looking at the pictures, people will think about how they look from the outside. This is probably the goal of the photographer's project.
The project was named Technomad, and the photography exhibition itself, Europe-wide 27, takes place in Paris from December 2008 to March 2009.

The most talked about eco-skyscrapers and other creations of hi-tech father Norman Foster, who is building the future
He is called the most influential architect of our day - but he is also condemned just as often. He fights for the environment - and creates high-tech ultra-modern skyscrapers. He, a futurist and visionary, is entrusted with the reconstruction of historic buildings, and every time it is a new word in construction. If the legendary king Midas turned everything he touches into gold, then Norman Foster turns everything … into the future
How the geeks left: Niki Turbina's path from world fame to mysterious death
The most famous poet-prodigy of the 1980s in the USSR was Nika Turbina. Her name was well known, she was written about in newspapers and shown on TV, E. Yevtushenko contributed to the publication of a book of her poems when the girl was only 9 years old. In the 1990s, she was forgotten: the genius child grew into an ordinary teenager. Nika Turbina continued to write poetry, but they were no longer published. She drank a lot and could not find her place in life. At the age of 27, her life was cut short under very incomprehensible circumstances: either suicide
Crazy and funny Photoshop by Christophe Hue
Photoshop is a program whose work, it would seem, will surprise no one.

Unusual hi-tech sculpture: Disko chair by Kiwi & Pom
Fantasy, commissioned from Wallpaper Magazine, 200 meters of fluorescent tubes, a chair frame and an outlet on hand - that's all it took to create a rainbow disco chair. The craftsmen from the Kiwi & Pom company looked and looked at other creatives, and they made this wonderful sculpture: not only to show themselves, but also to remind of the bygone era of disco and the seventies!
