Based on the observation that the consumer society and the media lead are responsible for the loss of history, Barbara Matijevic and Giuseppe Chicco open the doors of a concrete and captivating, playful and poetic thinking. In Tracks, Barbara Matijevic draws a mental map on a blackboard around the year 1989. The voice of the sound landscape is added to the narrative and the drawing. The spectator then discovers an unexpected lecture, to say the least, that takes him as much on the path of thought as on that of intuition and sensation. If Tracks sets out the loss of the past, Forecasting thinks of that of the future, neutralized by technological progress and the elimination of historicity. The lecturer's blackboard is here replaced by the computer and it is the videos posted on YouTube that are at the heart of the performance. From their exploration of the Web, the two artists observe that the exponential increase in simultaneous histories induces a completely different relationship to narration and the body. They are moreover going to link theirs with these images, while presenting variations of indeterminate scenarios on the future and thus weaving the frame of their narrative. Couldn't technology also change the world and our relationship to it? They stage the world while staging themselves with the world in such a way that we no longer know who is directing whom! IA
