2. Nuit Noire

   Nuit Noire is a creation by Dutey and Jane Sautiere (1997) published in alire 10. The work itself begins as what appears to be a dark night. The screen is completely black and dark. White text appears and falls slowly, and the words become clearer at the center of the page; then, the text disappears again. The text falls in groups, perhaps in strophes, but one must read the order of the lines, not the words, in reverse order because the work begins, in fact, with the last line of the poem and progresses towards the beginning. The second time, the poem begins at the bottom of the screen and moves up the screen rather than falling to the bottom. According to Philippe Bootz, the poem is a retrograde text. The work is also a metaphorical animation where the text moves, but the words themselves do not change. Here is the text (from the start to the end): Nuit noire, odeur de tubéreuses. Toussent les grenouilles toutes ensemble et toutes ensembles se taisent, pour de plus fluettes et de plus mystérieuses voix. Une radio qui chante l’opéra chinois peut-être, ou peut-être pas. Une palme métallique au-dessus de la tête fait osciller la moustiquaire laiteuse.

3. Compréhension

   Compréhension/Comprendre is a piece by Annie Abrahams (1997/1998) that explores the ideas of identity, perception and the fluidity of these two concepts. The piece begins with a pink screen and two pieces of text. In one corner, the reader sees the statement, “Vous ne me comprendrez jamais.” (You will never understand me) And in another corner there is a question, “Pourquoi pas?” ( Why not?) On this first page (and also on other pages throughout) the author gives the reader a choice. By clicking on the hyperlinks, the reader has the impression that he or she is talking with a person. The program becomes a sort of artificial being. Here, one has the choice to accept the declaration, or to argue it.
