MAUVE DESERT is a CD-ROM Translation of Nicole Brossard’s experimental novel Le Désert mauve. In this book, Mélanie is a fifteen year-old girl who seals her mother’s car every chance she gets and drives away from her mother’s lover Lorna and toward the dawn. Adriene Jenik is the road-running video artist who drives MAUVE DESERT from Montreal to the Southwest, from print to pixel, from night to day, from one generation of women to another.

The visit unfolds according to an itinerary based on a subway map. Different stations placed along colored lines provide access to territories that evoke the symbolism of the places and lives of which they are a part. The emotional drift through this narrative and figurative journey engulfs one in the places of everyday life — the solid textures of walls, the atmosphere of time, the tangible traces of the past and present.

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.
