Presentation:
Ricardo Mbarkho uses the computer as a tool to convert texts into images. By this process, the text's binary codes, which are the digits that computers use to stock information, generate a unique corresponding image. Therefore, these digital images become a visual equivalent of the initial texts. With this technique, Ricardo is investigating multiple questions related to language, communication, cultural industries, history of art as well as visual representation.

Keywords: Digital. Mass connections. Politic. Game. Notes.
Presentation:
"Grading the Lebanese Constitution" is a web based project where people can make anonymous grading for any and every article of the actual Lebanese Constitution. An Overall Average Grade is constantly displayed and updated. This grading centered project with its mass evaluation process implies different ways of reading the numbers and graphs of all the statistical results. It's a work that deals with data interpretation to offer multiple levels of meaning relative to our relation to power.

This video questions the mobility of the Arameans in the Lebanese social context; this is through the example of a woman who has undergone one of the explosions in Beirut. Are the Arameans who hold their language and their religion pursued again by terrorism in Lebanon?

Mots clés : Invisual. Post-immaterial. Document. Catalog page.
Présentation :
For his participation at the Biennale de Paris 2004, Ricardo Mbarkho conceived a page into the biennial catalog that says: "The deadline to present a project for the Biennale De Paris 2004 is here and I still don't have the slightest idea what I am going to do to participate. I have a project of which I am still ignorant. I am ignorant of its nature, its form, its content, its intention, its meaning, its value, its category, its model, its material, its texture, its medium, its connections, its colors, its public, its criticism, its context, its way, its manner, its trend, its time period, its title, its history, its geography, its esthetic... I don't know what to present, what to show, what to formulate, what to fabricate, what to create, what to exhibit, what to say, what to do, what to be... All I know is that my participation is my willingness to participate; the rest escapes me."
Exhibited at:
2004 - Espace SD, Lebanon, in the frame of the Biennale de Paris, France
Keywords: Digital. Relation. Communication. Meetings.
Presentation:
A number shows how many people have already visited the site since its creation. This indicator is followed by a description text I put in many languages. The visitors can refresh the site to see the number of visitors in each instant.

Presentation:
In April 2001, an email about a Tabbouleh Day is sent by Ricardo Mbarkho to a large number of people who forwarded it to their address books as well. It is about a new celebration day each first Saturday of July: The Lebanese National Tabbouleh Day. Year after year, this event is now practiced by a big part of the Lebanese (and their friends) in Lebanon and abroad.
Website address: http://www.nationaltabboulehday.com
Art process:
My artistic practice is fully integrated in its social context because it is the reflection of a war-ridden country called Lebanon. The war in Lebanon has taken its toll on our lifestyle, therefore, I wanted to raise awareness to the importance of life manifested and focused years ago through my project: The Lebanese National Tabbouleh Day. It is a Holiday that I have created to gather all the Lebanese people (and friends) around a traditional dish, which is: Tabbouleh; in order to show and strengthen our attachment to life. It is an opportunity for all of us, citizens of the world. This day comes yearly, on the 1st Saturday of July. How do we celebrate this day? The idea is not necessarily to be around the biggest dish of Tabbouleh and eat it, but to be together at this specific day at the same time anywhere on earth (in Lebanon or abroad) to celebrate life. We encourage all the Lebanese (and friends) to consider the 1st day of July a holiday where all family and friends meet to honor our survival which became a valuable quality through many years of struggling. Keep in mind that the purpose of this event is to raise awareness around the value of life as is, regardless of our origins, family, personal or social conditions.

A trip from Paris to Juvisy is the context of this video. The images that move horizontally with the train movements put us in the beginning of the film in a Parisian landscape. This landscape becomes a portrait after an accident that occurs during the travel and a "smooth" plot catch the spectators for 52 min to discover the climax at the end of the trail, at the end of the "unachieved" trip.
