Fiche simple

À l'écran, l'internaute peut voir trois fenêtres juxtaposées montrant chacune un court-métrage. Chacun de ceux-ci est affiché aléatoirement et met en vedette une personne différente récitant un vers de l'artiste. Le film de la fenêtre de gauche est celui que l'internaute verra en premier, suivra le film de la fenêtre du centre, puis celui de la fenêtre de droite. Ainsi, un poème sera créé par l'addition des trois vers entendus dans ces séquences vidéos.

Discours (notes)

« In the last few years the propagation of Net Art has established a market for the study and exploration of this dynamic field of contemporary art. However, most of the works that are categorized as Net Art don't make sense. Maybe this is just a reflection of today’s society, or maybe most of the net/contemporary artists are nothing but postmodernists. Nevertheless, the Net is a fascinating medium with enormous possibilities. I presume that one of the biggest gaps of Net Art is the absence of Art. Perhaps we should ask ourselves if any flash animation or java applet is Net Art in the same way that any object showed in a gallery or museum room is Art. The way I solve this problem is introducing poetry as a foundation for all the works I make. I believe that poetry transforms objects into art, in the same way that it converts noise into music. Poetic Dialogues is an example of this belief. If you are expecting a non-sense work full of special effects, you are in the wrong place. This project is constituted by 18 different flash movies made with a high-tech wristwatch camera. Each flash movie has a sequence of images taken frame by frame of people reciting a verse that I previously wrote. So, even when I employed a sophisticated machine to do this work, the process was the same that was used at the begining of cinema. When you enter the project you will see 3 different faces that establish a dialogue between them. The interaction among the characters generates a poem. Also, the number of different poems/combinations that you can get is 216. This metaphorical process of using a watch to create dynamic poems was taken from a previous work called ‘the poetic clock’, a machine that converts time into poetry which generates 86.400 different poems daily. » (http://www.turbulence.org/Works/yucef/)
