EXERCICE 1 / 14.09.2016 Writting an essais about a project we did. WHY HOW WHHY

The project "72", is a photography/editorial project I made last year. Unfortunately the project was created just after a tragic story. Two years ago on Christmas, one of my dearest friend killed herself in her apartment. I always think life is a coincidence of things and,at this period I was questionning myself about time. The project is an edition A4 with fine and translucide paper. The photographies are analog black and white photography. On each double page you will see a photograpy and on the other in front you have the date and the text i wrote at this time.

The project has really began when my friends and I return in her apartment at dusk. No traces were in it anymore.We were sitting on the living room, alone and silent. Few minutes later I was looking at the place and thought about the image of the apartment I will remember and, ask myself, would I be returning here after this moment ? I had my camera on me and I began to capture all the rooms of the apartment, room, bathroom, kitchen. The only picture where you see people is my friends sitting in the living room, remainning silence.Nothing personal was left in it. No personality was on the picture, only space.It was like taking real estate picture. After doing this, I began to read essays, as "La maison corps et âme", byJean Onimus or "Histoire de chambres" which were about feelings you can feel for a house, home, place. That is how the apartment begin to be the main protagonist of this edition.

The life around me was still going. But I couldn't stop remaining me this empty apartment and at last it appear to me as the only rampart again time passing. I was writing texts during all the time I was creating this project, to keep on paper all the feeling and thoughts. I was trying to catch something uncatchable by reading, photographing and writing The process of developing film picture was for me the perfect image of what can be a mourning, a souvenir. At first, you don’t know how much time you have to put a light on, but more and more you learn how to control it, like your development. Unlike I am use to create methods before to begin to create a project, expect for this one, it has been build as the same time as the project was growing. I didn't thought of audience for this book, not even for my friend, that is only when I shown them the final edition that I understand the power it could had on other. This is also where I realized that the method I had used and mediums chosen were almost unconscious choices.

EXERCICE 2 / 28.09.2016 Taking notes about Vilèm Flusser, 1988 interview about technical revolution and Marshall Mcluhan Full lecture: The medium is the message - 1977 part 1 v 3 -

Alphabet as software, technology. Literacy is a recent technology, not so long ago books where consider as technologie. They help preserving the human memory. Technology can be understood as a tool for the stability of memory. The relation to history is really different for literacy and orality. Literacy is consider as a technological revolution.

Flusser

I AM HERE BECAUSE : present cultural revolution is no more accentuate. Language and communication are not capable anymore to transmettre a concept we have about the world.

NEW FORMULA=NEW CONCEPT New codes are appears. The code of technical image. To understand the world we have to calculate no, words are less useful now. The number began to be images of concepts. And computer has develop those number to create images.

Concept of communication use synthetic image and no words anymore. There is a revolution here !

The alphabet is a total revolution, total transformation of action Before, images were considered as a map of the world. Mystical image of the world.

Our history came with the alphabet because alphabet has a structure on a causality, critical way.

Structure complex : There are complex relation between each others, but the use of this complex is easy (as tv, radio, internet, computer…)

Structure fonctional : The form of it can be really simple but the use challenge your mind. ( chest, books, …) Both of this concept are independent from each other.

For Flusser, the system can be really complexe but it’s the use of the user who make is low. There is a lower thinking of the system.

It’s not the system’s fault.

The history seen by Flusser :

Philosophy of the image : The image history is a negative one. It comes from our greek / jewish philosophy, and has prejudices. The image was understand as a copie of the reality at this time. But now they are articulate around ideas, concept and are no more consider as projection of reality. ( Walter Benjamin).

CONCLUSION: Every revolution is a technical revolution. So if the present is one- today the technique are less

about the object but more about imitating the human nervous system. It’s an immaterial, spiritual revolution.
