Laffranchissement aventurier - test 2

NOMAD AUTONOMOUS INTERACTIVE DISPOSITIF FOR SOLO PERFORMANCE
performance / video / interactivity
2007
 
A human being, becomes (turns into) a walker, leaves the Base and heads towards the test Zone. His only weapons are his movement, his loneliness (solitude), his competency and universal Knowledge and with that he will explore the unknown, who stands fearful yet full of encounters and findings.
This fiction supports visually the process of a collaboration project within a specific Network. The script is constructed in real time, analogous to the discoveries, the constructions or the failures of the collective. The generic character of this adventure is at the same time a gate and a vector. With the aid of sensors, he feeds the Network with data and information gathered from the real physical world. The data is subsequently adapted, consumed, analyzed from the Network, which will feed him back with the results of its lecture, analysis and interpretation. Soaked in information, will he be able to comprehend, appropriate and make use of it to move forward?

 

Creating a fiction by using a certain technology (sensors, mobile systems, pervasive and collaborative, augmented reality), is all about appropriating, refining and contextualizing it within a strong physical reality. The cohabitation of these two myths/illusions, Nature and Technology, is what generates the script of a virtual world metaphor, situated in the territory of new technologies, information and communication systems. The lonesome searcher moves away to intense situations, to illusions. At the same time, the Network, remote and immaterial, struggles to touch this tangible reality.

「人間はやがて一人の旅人となる(変身する)。安住の地を離れ、探索的領域へと向かう。彼が手にする唯一の武器は、自身の行動力、孤独(孤立)感、生き抜くための様々な技能、そして普遍的な知識。それらを手に、彼は未知なる世界へと踏み出して行く。恐怖に彩られつつも、新たな出会いと発見の満ちあふれた未知の世界へ。」センサーの力を借りながら、彼は物質的な現実世界の情報とデータを収集し、「ネットワーク」へと供給する。「ネットワーク」はデータを吸収・消費・分析・解釈し、その結果を彼へとフィードバックする。氾濫する情報の中で彼は、与えられた情報を理解し、自分のものとし、先へ進むために役立てるのだろうか。フィクションを創造するために、ある種のテクノロジー(センサーやモバイル機器、蔓延し増強さ

れた共有の現実)を使用するということは、このテクノロジーを私物化し、純化し、強固な現実世界の構造へ組み込んでいくということである。テクノロジーと自然。この二つの幻想/錯覚の共生は、新たなテクノロジー・情報・通信システムの領域に、仮想現実というメタファーを生成する。「孤独な旅人は苦難な状況へと向かう。苦難な状況という、錯覚へと向かう。その時、実体を持たない「ネットワーク」は遠く離れた場所から、この現実世界に触れるようと苦悩するのだ。」
