The film is a montage of these existing resources and uses the image as a means of interrogating writing. \"Geopolitics of oblivion\" probes  the proliferation of information and signs produced by the Internet and digital language (tree structures, the Cloud, the data flood, etc.). It compares two possible ways in which a writing system might come into being: digital archiving and the externalisation of our  memory. Cuneiform script, which appeared in Sumer over 3,000 years before the Common Era, is presumed to have originated in an accounting system and is associated with lines and eye tracking. This is the model we use today as the basis for memory when we store information in data centers. The Mayan script (6th\u20139th centuries CE), which recorded  the movements of the stars and the calculation of time, is linked to glyphs and body memory. The artist has imagined a \u201cbattle\u201d between two fictitious retro-futurist communities, the  SUM and the MAY. These new signs are more like memorising techniques than a stable alphabet. In this era of screen-based writing with pictograms and keywords, new interactions between eye and hand, and communication using emojis and gifs based on images  or stylised images, Daphn\u00e9 Le Sergent explores the behaviour generated by this new, codified but fragmented language.","space":"A black curtain set up dividing the screen and the room. \nThe audience is invited to make a choice between the two parts, to watch the video.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":"dlz","video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/295181990","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Daphn\u00e9 Nan","surname":"LE SERGENT","email":"daphnelesergent@gmail.com","dni_type":"DNI","dni":"13CC27839","address":"23 quai de l'oise","city":"Paris","nacionality":"french","country_id":"77","birthdate":"1975-06-18T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1975-06-18T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+33(6) 62 38 85 11","web":"www.daphnelesergent.com"}
