The images chosen with the interfaces
by the users in both
spaces among the 96 video
sequences are superimposed to constitute, during
the installation presentation's period, a vertical
column in continuous movement in the marine
representation of a memory
space.
This
representation creates a time driven space,
that of a collective memory, across the snapshots
taken form the different cities combined in
one single space.
The public present in both spaces
will be "virtually" united by their
images choices that will superimpose
to the same time column, sharing the waters
of a common memory.
"Méditerranée
virtuelle 1.0", at the origin of [V-Med
2.0] and presented in Palermo last February,
was proposing a new vision of Mediterranean,
a non geographical vision based on the metaphor
of the Internet as a memory
and information sea.
This
metaphor isn't new, from the very beginning
of the Internet as a new media, the potential
was so huge and its applications so diverse
that its exploration has become the "navigation",
the software became "navigators",
its use, the "surf". This terminology
engages our own body
and suggests a liquid space, the information
flux.
[V-Med
2.0] keeps this metaphor and amplifies it. Palermo
and Helsinki, two seaports,
become the two borders of a common sea in a
reconfigured geography,
suggesting new cartographies.
