"Incident of the Last Century " is, in the beginning, an interactive
installation created by Gr�gory Chatonsky and presented to the exhibition
"Art Virtuel, cr�ations interactives et multisensorielle" which proceeded of
December 5, 1998 to January 9, 1999 with the curator Frank Popper in
Boulogne-Billancourt (France).
"Incident of the Last Century " is now available on the web site of the CICV
and its interactivity was entirely adapted to the co-operative problems of
the network. The users can modify art work by sending texts, pictures,
sounds or all other medias which will be gradually integrated.
This installation uses Quicktime, Shockwave, VRML to propose, with several
thousands of screens, a strange fictional universe in which the user can
handle three dimensions forms, hear sounds and voices of anonymities, see
videos and interactive forms, test artificial lifes.
"Incident of the Last Century " is about the way in which the human being
and technologies become inseparable today, beyond the speeches enthusiasms
or apprehensive. It is a reflexion on the statute of the interactive
fiction. In which ways the structure of a history can it change randomly as
it is traversed? How the user can interact on his construction? Which is the
statute of the author ?
This installation created an identity between the bottom and the form, the
contents and the media. It tries to connect heterogeneous elements whose
relations are aesthetic : the separation or rupture of a man and a woman,
Sarajevo like a metaphor of the European history, the invention of the body
and perception at the last century, the small and great history. It produces
spaces, times, paradoxical identities by which the traditional categories
are called into question. With the paddle of next the millenium, this work
try to understand how year 2000 and its technological phantasms come for a
great part from the century which precedes us and in what the modernistic
Utopia finds its roots in a forgotten history.
