Abstract

The way we see the world has changed drastically since NASA released the 'blue marble' image of the earth taken by Apollo 17 in 1972. No longer a placid slow-moving orb, the world is now perceived as a hothouse of activity and hyper-connectivity that cannot keep up with its inhabitants. The internet has collectively bound human society, replacing the world as the network of all networks. In Goodbye, World! Looking at Art in the Digital Age, writer and curator Omar Kholeif traces the birth of a culture propagated but also consumed by this digitized network. Has the internet transformed the way we see and relate to images? How has the field of perception been altered by evolving technologies, pervasive distribution, and our interaction with screens? How have artists working in diverse contexts, from eBay auctions to augmented reality, created new ways of emoting that are determined by these technologies? Focusing on a cultural and artistic landscape that has taken shape since the year 2000, Kholeif aims to put into context a new language for seeing, feeling, and being that has emerged through post-millennial technologies, and argues for a nuanced understanding of the post-digital condition. Taking cues from John Berger's Ways of Seeing and Alvin Tofflers Future Shock, this book - part memoir, part critical analysis - should prove essential for anyone interested in the changing world of the internet.

Abstract

Depuis le milieu des années 1990, Joana Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige (nés en 1969, vivent et travaillent à Beyrouth et Paris) élaborent une œuvre riche et multiforme qui embrasse les champs de la photographie, des arts plastiques, du cinéma de fiction et du documentaire. En 2008, ils ont présenté au Festival de Cannes Je veux voir, un long‐métrage de fiction avec Catherine Deneuve et Rabih Mroué ; en mai 2013, ils ont sorti le film documentaire The Lebanese Rocket Society : l'étrange histoire de l'aventure spatiale libanaise.Leur approche multiple de la création donne naissance à une esthétique singulière où les questions du visible et du caché, des relations entre la fiction et la réalité tiennent une place primordiale. Le processus d'enquête et de mise au jour, les représentation de données historiques, culturelles et politiques sont au cœur de leur démarche. Ils expliquent : « Tout notre travail se fonde à la frontière d'un réel où se pose continuellement la question du territoire, de sa délimitation (celui de l'art, celui de la vie personnelle), la question du corps social et du corps individuel dans une société communautaire, dans un temps où il est de plus en plus difficile de se poser en individu vecteur de la pensée et de la possible opposition, de dire “je”, de dire “je suis cet être‐là avec ses contradictions ; je suis là et, plus encore qu'un individu, je suis un sujet politique singulier”. »
