A
scientific formula, which was to liquidate world debt, has been
stolen from Ricard Enterprises ! Thus begins the story of Liquidation,
a plurimedia work. The title is also the theme of this photo
romance that casts both a critical and playful eye on our lives
and cities, where endless accumulation leads to endless liquidation.
After having completed a printed version in 1995 and a web-radio
version of this work in 1998 the authors now present a CD-Rom
version of this random fiction.
PRoman,
a custom software designed by Alain Bergeron, uses combinatorial
functions to randomly choose photos, display effects, text and
sound according to the viewing duration choosen by the user
(20 to 120 minutes). Although the inteface allows for a sequential
viewing, the CD-Rom version of Liquidation can be best likened
to a film that changes every time it is seen.
