How to Excel at Everything

Taglines
Two Pokémon-like friends embark on a journey together to master every skill possible through online tutorials.
Overview

Freely adapted from Flaubert's unfinished book 'Bouvard et Pécuchet' (published posthumously in 1881), 'How to Excel at Everything' explores the dynamics operating in our current era of online self-study and YouTube tutorials. Guided by algorithmic recommendations, B and P try to learn everything without any pedagogical compass, falling into a new rabbit hole everyday. Exploring the thin interstice between online DIY culture and the dismantling of institutional pedagogical structures, 'How to Excel at Everything' translates the gamification of our lives and the rise of self-help culture into a learning odyssey.

Overview

Dans "How to Excel at Everything", deux amis aux airs de Pokémon se lancent ensemble dans une épopée immobile pour tout apprendre, grâce à des tutoriels en ligne. Librement adapté du livre inachevé de Flaubert "Bouvard et Pécuchet" (publié à titre posthume en 1881), ”How to Excel at Everything" explore les dynamiques contemporaines de l'auto-apprentissage en ligne et des tutoriels Youtube. Guidés par les recommandations algorithmiques, B et P essaient de s'auto-former à toutes les disciplines et d'absorber toutes les connaissances, sans aucune boussole pédagogique et à la merci du moindre rabbit hole qui les engouffrera. Explorant l’interstice entre la culture DIY et le démantèlement des structures pédagogiques institutionnelles, “How to Excel at Everything” traduit la ludification de nos vies et l'essor de la culture du développement personnel en une petite odyssée de l'apprentissage.
