L’intercode
Strengthened by the soundtrack, the animation stages the opposition of Images and Texts according to Vilém Flusser's ideas. For this philosopher, technical images (photography, video) claim to show the real world while they merely codify the scientific texts to which they owe their origin: Texts and Images confront each other in the representation of reality. This dialectical relationship, whose synthesis remains to be found, is doubled in the video of another opposition: the equilibrium of primitive man facing the divergences of technical progress. The inter-code questions the possibilities and limits of science and its materialization in technology.
