Building Two Live Platforms in 24 Hours and 3 Days

Mercure en Lion is my art sales platform built around an unusual premise: every work carries the same price, and that price rises with each acquisition across the platform.

Every asset was ready before the build began. Every decision had already been made. The full 24 hours went into architecture, logic, and execution.

The site makes the pricing logic legible at a glance: the full acquisition history, the interactive curve, the works grid. Visitors see exactly where the price is heading and what each new acquisition changes. The mechanism required a functional interactive element, designed to carry the concept rather than decorate it.

Voyager l'Invisible is the site for a book documenting twenty-three sessions of auto-induced trance drawing conducted over one year with Martin Vernier, using a protocol called La Boussole. The primary purpose of the site is to present the book and bring visitors into its world fully enough that they want to own it.

All images were created, selected, and sequenced as part of the build. Texts were shaped for a web reading experience. The three days covered both the creative work and the full technical build.

Visitors arrive without a frame of reference for what trance drawing or La Boussole means. The site builds that frame in the first few seconds, then lets the work carry the rest. The layout mirrors the structure of the book: text and image in dialogue, the protocol made visible and accessible.
