database is an electronic reading device that deals with the inversed functionality
of three electronic devices: a printer, a video camera and a database.
Consequently, it raises issues about the erasure of text, the act
of reading in real time (i.e., listening to a printed text), and
physical databases. Through the opposition between presence vs.
absence, recording vs. erasure, memory vs. forgetfulness, present
vs. continuous time and reading vs. listening, we challenge the
idea of the database as a non-linear and digital structure, and
the printer as an output device as well as an information recorder.
Critical for the connection of all these concepts is the idea of
present time as a time that is always passing by. continue |
