Presented in its first version at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis at the end of the nineties, nocinema.org is an ever-evolving streaming application developed by Jérôme Joy: French artist and composer. This project is a net-based documentary/fiction of web interludes that appear differently each time. Nocinema.org can be interpreted as an improbable cinema or a movie in which both actors and action appear to have wandered out of shot, having no beginning and no end, no participants and no storyboard, except perhaps subjective interpretations born of an impulse to impose purpose and meaning upon random stimuli.

Nocinema.org is an automatic process, drawing upon strings of live streaming webcams across the world, transmitting live scenes collected from different locations with added panoramic movements and temporized on-line editing, into which some black shots are inserted (listening without visual). The sound, each time offering a different sequenced overlay, comes from a shared soundfiles database which is fed and updated by a team of sound artists/partners, including Magali Babin, DinahBird, Christophe Charles, Yannick Dauby, Chantal Dumas, Jérôme Joy, Luc Kerléo, Alain Michon and Jocelyn Robert.
