PORTFOLIO - Roy Arden, The World as Will and Representation
Cet article a été publié uniquement en anglais à l'origine. Aucune traduction n'est disponible.
Roy Arden’s piece presents a kaleidoscopic flux of some 10,000 images extracted from the web, depicting different manifestations of the concrete world. Structured around arbitrary entries, it deploys so many numerous variations that we are left in a state of amazement and confusion.
This web project could appear to arise from an encyclopedic will, but rather shows the impossibility of such an entreprise, exposing the limits and incoherence of the virtual archive. Schopenhauer’s pessimism, and its vision of circularity and sameness, still appears of a great relevance in the actual state of omnipresence, and accelerated circulation, of the image.
The World as Will and Representation – Archive, 2004 - , 10,000 successive images, 38 min. 51 sec.
