Le temps est sur-investi, l’espace est cartographié, et nous avons le don d’ubiquité. Paysages ou fond d’écrans; nous sommes spectateurs de nos propres représentations, nous voyageons, nous naviguons, nous commentons, nous partageons, nous passons d’un paradoxe à un autre et nous prenons des photos d’autres photos. « Voir en vrai » est une idée vague. De liens en hyperliens, les images du flux sont pluriels mais communes, surprenantes mais habituelles, singulières mais ordinaires. Représentation et expérience sont deux notions poreuses.

Travel is the movement of people between relatively distant geographical locations, you may understand the word « distant » in a broader sense. It can be one way or a round trip, as long as you remember where you began. Travel can also include relatively short stays between successive movements. Navigation is the process of monitoring and controlling any movement from one place to another. Navigation, in a broader sense, can refer to any skill or study that involves the determination of position and direction. whether it’s land navigation, marine navigation, aeronautic navigation, space navigation, or somewhere else. Time is exhausted, space is mapped, and we have the gift of ubiquity. Landscapes or wallpaper? We are spectators of our own representations, we move from one paradox to another and we take pictures of other pictures. "in real life" is a vague idea. Representation and experience are two porous notions.
