Donatella

The digital media signify above all a common encod-


ing of the image, of sound or of text. This encoding,
or “digitisation”, is developed out of concern for
naturalism through a level of definition which aims to

Bernardi be the highest possible; high definition both in


terms of the capturing of the signal and of its diffusion
(and no doubt linked to the phenomenon of simula-
crum and simulation).
The interface is the locus of perception of this encod-
Application for a ing, a kind of rallying point with which we are increas-
ingly inclined to interact: it is no longer just a matter

position as a professor of looking at it, of listening to it, but also of touching


it to make the desired information appear. The entire
contents of a book can be displayed by turns on a
in fine arts with single page, in the same way as a camera can now do
without reels of film or cassettes. This compression
specialization of information is such that we sometimes feel like we
are living in an immaterial world (Les immatériaux,
in digital media curators: Jean-François Lyotard, Thierry Chaput, Paris,
Centre national d’art et de culture Georges Pompidou,

KKH
1985). This illusion of immateriality is attracting
renewed attention in the interface, for suddenly,
“The sense appears and is played out on the surface,
at least if one knows how to mix it properly, […]
The deepest is the skin”. Gilles Deleuze, Logic of
Sense, 1969). Marshall McLuhan wrote in 1957 “No
sense operates in isolation”, in 1960: “What hap-
pened to the book after the newspaper? To the book
after the movie? To the book after radio and televi-
sion? Nobody seems to know. What has happened to
the movie since television is much better known,
and if studied not as a change in our view of the
movies but as a change in the uses and forms of the
movie, much can be learned about the movie, and
about television and movie at the same time; i.e.,
much that could not be learned by inspecting merely
one-at-a-time”.
This method of analysis and experimentation through
comparison and exchange will be central to my
teaching in the possible form of personal interviews
with students, outings, visits to exhibitions and
festivals, as well as lectures and viewings. The educa-
tional programme will be adapted to the specialisa-
tions and research of each individual. It is disturbing
to think that a sentence is always constructed
in the same manner: subject, verb, object; and that
when we write a narrative, we feel like we are actualis-
ing the Poetics of Aristotle, despite the installations
of Eija-Liisa Ahtila, to give just one example. Hyper-
text is revealing in this respect: it is above all a
question of neurology, whether it concerns the con-
temporary arborescences of our internet sites or the
mnemonic techniques of Antiquity and then of the
Renaissance deployed in the form of a palace or
theatre of memory and linked to the art of the imagi-
nary (Frances Yates, Art of Memory, 1966).
