You can see on the screen of natural phenomena related to running water over the seasons, while voice and text take us to our own individual or collective floods in true stories, slices of life, or explorations of perception. In this video, poetry, reading is interactive, we can explore without end, without departing from the movie …

Notice to the reader / viewer

This one-hour interactive video is made for everyone in this story could go on board his TV and his Zapeta orders at their own pace, according to his desire to explore. It’s very different when we take time to get yourself in a universe that is as intimate as a book and as always in poetry, the reader invents each time reading. Except that is not a book but a video where you can move. There are several codes of reading to know, just like a book is handled chapters, table of contents or footnotes page, in this video you will use the navigation icons, screens and switches hyperlinks.

Paris Network assembles photographs, sound samples, animations and texts to form a composite, layered image of the city, combining digitized traces of physical places and people with information garnered from individual and collective memory. As the map turns around in a spiral movement, you seem to move in, from one zone to another, toward the subject, but as you get closer, you begin to lose your bearings. In each zone, you explore the city differently. Four entrances, four ways of looking, four structural devices. You will always have, even as you move around, a fragmentary view, evoking a vast, more complete “hors-champ”, which always seems out of reach. You enter as if you were breaking in.

Technophobia is a collection of original multimedia art by12 international artists made as an interactive exhibition. The multimedia pieces play with our fears regarding technology, computers in particular, and thus raise questions about the very medium the artists are using. Technophobia manages to provide various angles on its subject, and at times the visual beauty of a work collides with fears surrounding technology. At best, the works featured on this CD-ROM demythologize our technophobia by making it concrete.
