[Louise Desrenards <louise.desrenards@free.fr>]

2067 ce n'est pas la date de la prochaine coupe du monde de foot à Paris
C'est une installation de David Guez qui ne se prend pas pour Zizou, quand
même :

et sa métaphysique numérique

vous saisissent comme il met lui-même sa vie en abîme : mort (ce qui veut
dire ailleurs où il finira par avoir raison de vous ou des retours qu'il
convoque) ou vif (ce qui veut dire qu'il le fait, et vous
ici avec lui, tout de suite)...

Tous ses actes sont des poïeses ou même
des demiurgies d'incroyables installations conceptuelles, que certains
qualifieraient de poétiques mais que personnellement je qualifie de
métaphysique, histoire de le dire deux fois pour que personne n'oublie...

Justement contre l'oubli, j'ai eu peur de ma trace en 2067, entre Hugo
versus Atlantique et Goethe versus continental, toujours vivants depuis
qu'ils sont morts, cela va sans dire...

David hyperlui versus Internet et les étoiles, rampe de lancement : réseau
et retour sur réseau, depuis toujours c'est son truc, non ? Y a qu'à
dérouler le CV...
 
Mais David est peut-être un martien ?

Cette machine :

    "2067"
    http://2067.hypermoi.net/

quand il l'a lancée m'a fait peur.

Normal j'ai un âge qui ne donne pas à penser que je pourrai survivre jusque
là... Mais engager dès maintenant des messages posthumes, par exemple à mes
petits enfants, à des gens qui m'ignorent, à la planète mutée, ou à mon
compagnon dans l'au-delà, tout de même quelle étrange boîte postale, il faut
aller visiter un psychanalyste auparavant pour s'engager le pied léger
d'email dans le bot... Finalement, j'ai fait sans ?héroïquement;-) C'était
au début, la machine était plus rude... D'aspect.

En fait, comme d'habitude, il a toute une stratégie fictionnelle du réseau
qu'il met en place de gré ou de force, en quelque sorte c'est génial et
d'ailleurs, ce n'est pas passé inapperçu.. vu dans son site :

The End User: E-mailing bottled time
By Victoria Shannon International Herald Tribune

Published: August 30, 2006
PARIS Many people can no longer imagine life without e-mail. We are lost
when our mail network at work goes down. At home, we check for messages
first thing in the morning or last thing at night. We use e-mail to gossip
with the guy at the next desk, and we depend on it to make, break and
nourish long-distance friendships and family ties.
 
If we are already this reliant on e- mail after a scant couple of decades of
use, what is the future of e-mail?
 
David Guez, a French new-media artist, can imagine the Internet and its
e-mail-ability becoming a "kind of additional human organ" in the far-off
future. In that vein, he has started a project - half genuine service, half
Internet performance art - called 2067, through which you can send e-mail to
people on a particular date as many as 50 years into the future.
 
There are practical benefits: You could send a string of e-mail messages
timed to the next 10 years of someone's birthday, for instance. Or you could
send an e-mail reminder to a colleague of an important deadline next month.
 
But, as befits a work of art, there are emotional, relationship-dependent,
perhaps even troubling aspects of the idea, too.
 
You could send an apology or a confession to someone in the future to
assuage your guilty conscience today. You could send an "I was thinking of
you" note to a special person - or somebody you'd like to be special - at a
random date next year. Or you could describe your daily life in a kind of
time capsule and send it to your children on their 20th birthdays.
 
One of Guez's points is to illustrate the compression of time and paint the
Internet as time in a bottle. The goal is not really to sell a useful
service or make money, he said; the project is free and open to anyone.
 
"It is conceptual Net art," Guez said during an interview. "One point is to
make the Internet a timepiece. Everything is going faster and faster. We
forget that time has passed by. I wanted to put a gap in time."
 
But the Internet is also a repository. "It is a kind of conscience. It keeps
our memories and our thinking," he said.
 
And it affects relationships between people. "Of course you can say
something with a letter. But with the Internet, it changes the point of
view," Guez said.
 
Some of the same principles are evident in the three-year-old Web site
called FutureMe.org. But Guez notes that his goal is to get people to e-mail
others, not themselves.
 
In the past couple of months, about 1,000 e-mail messages have been entered
into his Web site, 2067.hypermoi.net. Most people have chosen a delivery
date in the next year. "I think they are afraid," Guez said, "because 50
years away is quite strange."
 
The technology is basic: some security and encryption (even Guez can't read
the e-mail messages, he said), a simple form on the Web site, and a program
that releases the designated messages automatically when the computer clock
strikes midnight.
 
Guez realizes he needs to keep up with the project over the years, perhaps
moving it to a different server, or setting up "mirror" sites, to make sure
it delivers.
 
Several friends have told him their messages are funny ones. Guez himself
can't imagine writing anything but "something nice," although he realizes
that 2067 has the potential to do emotional damage as well.
 
The catchphrase "Internet time" came to mean "extremely fast" during the
dot-com boom of the 1990s. Maybe 2067 will compress time even more.
 
"The Internet has a different way of dealing with time," Guez said. "I
wanted to add to the idea of time."
