Ex Machina specialized in communication and tech, long before the word became fashionable. « We did everything : video editing, websites, CD-Roms… », lists Brice. At the same time, he made himself a name in the media by creating Cyber Café 21, a program born in 1996 that became a must listen to and that lasted ten years. « I made radio and TV programs for Radio 21, reknowed RTBF radio channel » says Brice.
