La lettre n°12

OBSERVATOIRE CRITIQUE

des ressources numériques en histoire de l'art et archéologie


What's new on the Observatoire critique's website ?

As every month, we are suggesting a new artwork and a new artist's screen to you.

Version française

More Sensitive is literally about increased experience. Open up all your sensors, without leaving out the webcam and the microphone. Then the experiment can begin : torn between the wish to see, to hear and the dizziness to be seen, to be heard. Who else can receive my picture, my  movements, my sighs, my voice ? Is there another one ? An Other, undoubtedly.  Is the system only a stretched mirror, an additional trick from the network ? On which scene this recording will be screened ? The subtle work of Carol Brandon seizes your representation - insignificant, incriminating and with no destination - in order to instil it in the recorded performance of another actor. The actor pays no heed to time and gives life to the absents’ words. He is reciting the poignant sonnets of Louise Labé, distant poetess. What part will you have taken in this theatre of shadows, filled with evanescent faces. It is the secret of the engine, chief architect of the infinite remix of here, elsewhere and erstwhile.

November 24th, 2007. The Observatoire critique is invited to the seminar Literature studies, from paper to digital (Le littéraire, du papier au numérique), directed by Professor Michel Bernard, member of the Hubert de la Phalèse Research Center at Paris 3 University. We will present our approach and suggest a discussion about the confrontation between academic disciplines and digital culture. Do Art history, on the one hand, and literature studies, on the other hand, have to consider new forms of interdisciplinarity ? Read more...
