A particular feeling, a sort of 20th century nostalgia comes from “the observation of a world where any creations
spread with all speed leaving behind them a certain amount of failure. This consequence is the margin of error,
the difference changing between those failures and an infinite high-tech landscape which I am trying to catch”,
claims Gaëlle Boucand. Flurry (2007) consists of a Super8 computer screen saver projection. The artist offers to
the viewer a short story of retrieval, a jump into time from the best of the screen saver to the experimental cinema
of the 1970s.
500 / 500 000 000 (2008) is made with a microfiche reader showing pictures of minerals, and plays with the non-
linear evolution of technologies. The loss of data due to the adaptation to digital technology (for instance from a
floppy disk to a CD) has been encouraging some organizations to revert to the microfiche system, which
enables to archive information for 500 years. 500 / 500 000 000 sets up an elastic relationship with time:
technology goes back to the situation as it was 20 years ago in order to preserve archives of 500 000 000 year
old minerals for the next 500 years.
