Title: 2067, email@future
This project is about memory and how internet is moving our idea of time to new frontiers.
2067 is a Net.art project developed by me that proposes to send an email message to the future via Internet.
The concept is simple, 2067 actually focuses on its consequences: waiting, memory and correspondence but also on the aspect of relativity our conscience has towards time and Others.
2067 is the first project of the «Hypermoi.net» serial that claims the existence of an “Ego” or a “I” related to the networks.
The «2067.Hypermoi.net» concept
The web is the working model of the process of our universe in which space, time and memory, as well as the dynamical process of evolution proper to which organisms are all together forming a complex system of relations, that is, something one could call an «intelligence».
This very special intelligence might be different from ours regarding its capacity of organizing its time on a dynamical and parallel way instead of a chronological one.
Plunging into the entrails of an abstract form that possesses our secrets, our desires as well as our relations to the others and thus is the more acute and useful witness of our social evolution might then be a way – de facto – of plunging into the unknown of our consciousness.
We can therefore ask ourselves whether this intelligence would not be able to give us some clues regarding the fundamental questions of human being as a child building his identity reflects ours.
The fact of playing with time and correspondence by sending a message in the future is a way of beginning some sort of correspondence in which desire and waiting will play their part.
What shall one answer to the past? Especially if this past is now itself out of control? What conclusion shall one draw of this revelation?
WE ARE HERE IN PRESENCE OF A REAL “Ego” IN THE NET THAT IS «HYPERMOI.NET» IN WHICH THE NET IS THE CAUTION, CAUTION AND GUARDIAN OF A SECRET.
The web being a kind of temporary space in which invisible kind of interactions take place by the mean of meetings with shadows, these “phantoms” being ourselves, ourselves at different times of our lives.
Answering a phantom that is answering one’s self by laying one more message to an unknown address in time to another one’s self in a few years and therefore generate a weird kind of correspondence from a spirit to another spirit through place, time and period.
How shall one continue this correspondence if one does not free himself of the notion of time? And much more than a «daily time» question, it is a question related to one’s analysis of his own experience and what it provoked through the time that has passed by since a «dated question».
We now have to experience and understand the consequences of these new forms of correspondences and go further in the propositions of the «HYPERMOI.NET», this “I” or “Ego” related to the net, this “Moi-network”.
