[00:00:00] France to live on France
[00:00:02] 24.
[00:00:06] Uh, you're watching the essential on France 24. Good evening everyone, the far
[00:00:09] right is once again leading a regional election in Germany, the FD is
[00:00:13] declared winner in Western Mecklenburg- Pomerania, German Chancellor
[00:00:17] Friedrich Schmerz acknowledges a disaster for his party the
[00:00:20] CDU which failed to enter parliament.
[00:00:24] Another election in Russia where Vladimir Putin's United Russia party
[00:00:28] wins the legislative elections without surprise. However, the election was disrupted by numerous
[00:00:31] drone attacks from Ukraine, Moscow promises in
[00:00:34] response to intensify its strikes against Kiev. Finally,
[00:00:38] how high will fuel prices go between the war in Iran and that in Yemen,
[00:00:42] supplies are severely disrupted, a new
[00:00:45] surge in prices is to be feared.
[00:01:00] We start therefore with the results of two regional elections in Germany,
[00:01:04] two weeks after the victory of the far right in
[00:01:06] program with the Caisse des Français de Saxony-Anhalt, the AFD is once again leading in Mecklenburg-
[00:01:10] Western Pomerania. It is also making strong progress in
[00:01:13] Berlin, a bitter defeat for Chancellor Fredric
[00:01:17] Schmerz's CDU, who speaks of a catastrophe for his party. Jule
[00:01:20] Boêteau.
[00:01:24] Surrounded by his supporters, Leif Holm, here in the center of
[00:01:27] the image in a blue suit. is finally
[00:01:30] exulting, the candidate of the far-right party
[00:01:34] AFD wins the regional elections in Mecklenburg, Western Pomerania.
[00:01:38] occidental.
[00:01:41] It's a great evening for the FD, we gained
[00:01:44] 20 points compared to the last
[00:01:47] using only what the technology of elections. We have the mandate to govern
[00:01:49] here in Mecklenburg, Western
[00:01:51] Pomerania. To govern this region of northeastern
[00:01:55] Germany, if the AFD finds allies to reach
[00:01:58] a majority. Just behind are the Social
[00:02:01] Democrats of the SPD,
[00:02:04] far, very far from the CDU of Fredrit
[00:02:07] Schmerz. At the announcement of the first results this Sunday
[00:02:10] evening, all eyes turned to the chancellery, while a
[00:02:13] departure of the German leader in case of a debacle had been
[00:02:16] envisaged. But exceptionally for a regional election, the Chancellor
[00:02:19] preferred to cut short the rumors by speaking out.
[00:02:22] parole.
[00:02:28] We cannot gloss over it.
[00:02:34] really a reflection of the era of
[00:02:39] I personally take this responsibility because I want
[00:02:42] to move our country forward, a Chancellor
[00:02:45] more weakened than ever, but who remains in office, while in
[00:02:49] the other election of the day in Berlin, the CDU was also beaten by
[00:02:53] the radical left of Dilinker, who could take over the mayor's office in case
[00:02:56] of an alliance with other left-wing parties.
[00:03:00] also marked by the good score of the AFD, which marks a good
[00:03:04] step forward and its best historical result in the
[00:03:07] capital.
[00:03:10] And a sign that things are going badly for the CDU, Fredrik Schmerz's party
[00:03:13] failed tonight to enter the
[00:03:16] parliament of the state of Mecklenburg-Western
[00:03:19] Pomerania, it did not reach the elimination threshold of
[00:03:23] 5%. In Russia, Vladimir Putin's party,
[00:03:26] United Russia, is, without surprise, declared winner
[00:03:30] of the legislative elections held this weekend in the country, an election
[00:03:34] marked by numerous Ukrainian drone attacks and computer
[00:03:37] hacking. Jules Boîteau. According to
[00:03:41] the mayor of Moscow, it is an unprecedented Ukrainian
[00:03:44] offensive. The Russian capital and its region have been the target of
[00:03:48] several hundred Ukrainian drones, and if most of them
[00:03:51] were intercepted, several escaped Russian air
[00:03:54] defenses and notably struck several floors of a residential
[00:03:57] building in the capital where.
[00:04:00] this oil refinery, other devices fell in this residential
[00:04:03] area of Sofino in the Moscow region, causing
[00:04:07] casualties and significant
[00:04:08] damage,
[00:04:11] I was coming out of my building, I had taken about twenty steps from the entrance when
[00:04:15] the explosion sounded, the windows shattered, people started
[00:04:19] screaming, I turned around, the entrance doors had been
[00:04:21] blown off, there were injured, probably even
[00:04:25] dead, but we can't be sure, the rescue workers who arrived on
[00:04:28] the scene didn't...
[00:04:32] This massive Ukrainian drone attack comes in a context
[00:04:35] of intensifying fighting on both sides, a series of
[00:04:39] Russian strikes on more than 36 caused several deaths on Saturday and
[00:04:42] Sunday, including children.
[00:04:46] This offensive also comes on the
[00:04:49] exhibition project, the architecture of third and last day of voting in Russia and has been denounced by the
[00:04:51] authorities as aiming to disrupt the election.
[00:04:55] In the Kherson region in southern Ukraine, controlled by
[00:04:59] Russia. A drone notably killed several people, including an
[00:05:03] employee of the electoral commission. More
[00:05:06] than 4 and a half years after the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in
[00:05:09] 2022, in a context of repression of all
[00:05:12] forms of opposition, Vladimir Putin's party was,
[00:05:16] unsurprisingly, announced winner of the election on Sunday
[00:05:18] evening.
[00:05:23] The war in the Middle East now and the Houthis in Yemen report
[00:05:26] 28 Saudi strikes carried out against areas they control, these strikes
[00:05:30] come the day after the attack they themselves carried out against
[00:05:33] Riyadh, fighting that is weighing on the global economy, the
[00:05:37] price of a barrel of oil at the opening will once again be closely watched next
[00:05:41] night, its... an impact on fuel prices could very
[00:05:45] quickly be felt. Julien
[00:05:46] Cholin.
[00:05:49] Will we pay on average a little more than 2.60 €
[00:05:53] per liter of diesel in a month? The hypothesis is
[00:05:57] not far-fetched and doesn't even surprise these
[00:06:00] motorists.
[00:06:03] I take it as a fatality, I am forced to drive
[00:06:06] so there will have to be aid from both sides, I don't know,
[00:06:10] but it won't continue like that. In any case, the
[00:06:13] tensions on the oil market are not about to
[00:06:16] stop. As evidenced by this plume of smoke that rose yesterday
[00:06:20] above the city of Riyadh in Saudi
[00:06:23] Arabia. The oil facilities of the Saudi
[00:06:26] capital were targeted, an attack
[00:06:29] signed by the Houthi rebels, supported by
[00:06:32] Iran, which is gaining ground. As a result,
[00:06:36] after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, it is now another
[00:06:39] strategic passage that is threatened. The Strait of Babel
[00:06:43] Mandep. Enough to push up oil prices even
[00:06:47] further. Consequently, at the pump, prices
[00:06:50] should continue to rise in the coming days. Experts have
[00:06:53] worked on it, they predict €2.60 on average per
[00:06:57] liter of diesel in a month, and around €2.30 for
[00:07:01] unleaded ethanol 10. These
[00:07:03] forecasts are based on several parameters. Obviously
[00:07:07] the evolution of oil prices, but also the euro-dollar exchange rate, or
[00:07:11] even seasonality. and on the other hand, obviously there can be at any time
[00:07:15] geopolitical events, statements from politicians from certain
[00:07:18] countries that can have a fairly rapid impact and thus
[00:07:22] change our forecasts. Tomorrow, the government meets in
[00:07:25] Matignon to extend aid measures for
[00:07:29] professionals and individuals, according to our information, it could expand
[00:07:33] the number of French people concerned.
[00:07:36] Still in France, more than 10,000 people marched this Sunday in several cities across the country
[00:07:40] against the proposed law on the presumption of legitimate use of
[00:07:43] weapons by law enforcement, it was voted in July by deputies and must
[00:07:47] now be examined by the Senate, no to the permit to
[00:07:50] kill, could be read on some banners, protesters fear that police
[00:07:54] violence will increase with this law, those who are
[00:07:58] in favor believe that this law will allow law enforcement not
[00:08:01] to be systematically suspected or placed in custody after a
[00:08:05] shot.
[00:08:08] The European Heritage Days are coming to an end this
[00:08:11] evening. For two days you have been able to open the doors of museums, monuments, but also
[00:08:15] places usually closed to the public? it's the secret or
[00:08:19] forbidden that our colleagues from France 2 invite you to discover, it's a
[00:08:22] report by Julie Poirier, Antoine Calvès and Lola Bodin
[00:08:25] Adriaco. It's a fortress that you almost never
[00:08:29] enter. Fort Boyard, these lucky ones
[00:08:33] discover it for the first time with a sporty arrival, clip
[00:08:37] on the carabiners.
[00:08:39] Fifty of them were drawn by lot to live this unique
[00:08:42] adventure, a total immersion behind the scenes of
[00:08:46] the TV game, with the discovery of the treasure
[00:08:49] room, a few years ago there were tigers, real tigers that
[00:08:52] came to the fort and the famous return
[00:08:56] of Père Fouras, we recognize all the places we see on
[00:08:59] TV, but we see that it's still different, there are things that
[00:09:03] seem smaller, others larger, we see a little behind the scenes, I remember
[00:09:06] very, very small, watching the shows at Grandma's, I
[00:09:10] touch the bricks, I see if everything is...
[00:09:13] if it's really life, if it's not, if it's not a dream, always further,
[00:09:16] always higher, always higher,
[00:09:19] far from Fort Boyard, 700
[00:09:22] km away, another forbidden place opens to the public, the largest
[00:09:26] train maintenance workshop of the SNCF near Lille,
[00:09:30] a hundred trains are renovated each year, here everything
[00:09:34] seems oversized, what impresses
[00:09:36] me is the effect of size, of grandeur, because here we
[00:09:40] are below the trains, we also have the chance sometimes to pass
[00:09:43] over them and in fact it doesn't give the same impression at all as when we take the train every
[00:09:46] day, play with model trains or put yourself in the shoes
[00:09:50] of an airplane pilot, in Orléans, this air base also
[00:09:54] exceptionally opens its doors, a unique
[00:09:57] visit even into the cockpit of military planes, children, well,
[00:10:01] inevitably a little amazed sitting in front of it, it's always a pleasure to see that because
[00:10:04] I was in their place 20 years ago, so it's really a
[00:10:08] pleasure to see that we can transmit that, it feels strange.
[00:10:13] because I often fly, but a plane like that,
[00:10:16] it's impressive, thousands of sites are still open
[00:10:20] all over France until tonight for these Heritage
[00:10:23] Days.
[00:10:43] and immediately it's time for Valerie Fayol's Paris of Arts, an appointment
[00:10:47] with Pascal Obispo and Julie Depardieu.
[00:10:49] Dieu.
[00:11:01] Your program with Abris Sud, French manufacturer of swimming
[00:11:04] pool covers, pergolas and
[00:11:06] carports, watch your program with
[00:11:10] Meo, the delicious coffee, committed and accessible,
[00:11:14] Meo, the coffee I need, your program
[00:11:17] with the Caisse des Français de l'Étranger, health and retirement insurance, the
[00:11:21] CFE, social security for expatriates.
[00:11:39] I am the grandson of a Basque
[00:11:42] Spanish immigrant who was chased away by
[00:11:45] Franco and I am originally from
[00:11:49] Bordeaux.
[00:11:51] I am a lover of music, I am a lover of art. "I
[00:11:55] am a lover of people who seek, who experiment,
[00:11:58] expériences,
[00:12:06] I am a girl who is in a very good mood and
[00:12:09] very depressed, it depends, who changes her mind, but then
[00:12:12] like changing clothes, I don't have
[00:12:16] many convictions, the only one I have is that if
[00:12:20] music didn't exist, I don't think I would have invented it, but I would be much more
[00:12:23] unhappy."
[00:12:25] "I don't know if I'm really an actress, I take the position that precisely because
[00:12:29] I haven't had any training, that I would be quite unable to give advice to
[00:12:33] anyone, I act as if it were
[00:12:34] me.
[00:12:38] This week, a crazy love against a backdrop of manipulation, this takes place at
[00:12:41] the Marigny studio with Julie de Pardieu who plays Juliette
[00:12:44] Drouet, the mistress for more than 50 years of Victor Hugo, a favorite
[00:12:48] for the Fondation Cartier which has just moved to Place du Palais Royal
[00:12:52] just in front of the Louvre, but immediately we will find..." Pascal
[00:12:55] Obispo, not the singer, the painter,
[00:13:09] hello Pascal, hello, I'm delighted to
[00:13:12] meet you, what are we doing here? Well, we're at the
[00:13:15] Angebasseau gallery on a street, one of the most
[00:13:19] popular streets for art, so
[00:13:22] welcome to Angebasseau.
[00:13:25] Cardo, please, thank
[00:13:26] you very much,
[00:13:33] so it is here Pascal that you are exhibiting that we will be able to discover
[00:13:36] this other facet of Pascal
[00:13:39] Obispo, painting, so I had the chance
[00:13:42] to exhibit here, but there are already quite a few collectors who
[00:13:46] wanted to acquire
[00:13:49] some works, so that pushes me to continue to try
[00:13:53] to do perhaps. too many things, but it's true that these faces
[00:13:57] haunt me so I won't have to let them go right
[00:14:00] away.
[00:14:05] This exhibition is called reversibility, so
[00:14:08] reversibility because in fact all the canvases can be
[00:14:11] uh felt upside down
[00:14:15] and right side up
[00:14:16] quite simply.
[00:14:22] So upside down, you choose upside down, you choose... it's your place
[00:14:26] no matter what, but on one side you have the faces in profile and on the other side the
[00:14:29] faces from the front and then you prefer to have your head right side up or your head upside
[00:14:33] down Pascal in life it depends on the days, it depends on
[00:14:37] the days in fact it's the one who confronts the one who says the one
[00:14:40] who looks at you too the other it's rather the one
[00:14:44] who thinks the one who keeps
[00:14:47] the one who is more introverted so it has the
[00:14:51] two facets of my personality of us too of what we are.
[00:15:00] I finally left Notre Dame and
[00:15:04] France the tears of
[00:15:07] Verlaine Pascal Obispo, when we think of you,
[00:15:11] we first think of melodies that marked French song, of
[00:15:14] unforgettable tours, of
[00:15:17] duets too, we know less about this
[00:15:21] slightly secret artist's work, painting.
[00:15:25] At what point did you decide to paint, to
[00:15:28] pick up brushes and discover that it was
[00:15:31] therapy? In fact, I used to take a lot of photos at
[00:15:34] the beginning and uh and I...
[00:15:37] was uh forced
[00:15:41] at some point in my life to be anchored somewhere,
[00:15:45] so I used these photos to make collages, at the time I met a
[00:15:49] painter artist named Dane Ou who suggested
[00:15:53] to me by sending his collages to
[00:15:56] start painting, so despite the fact that I told him
[00:15:59] uh
[00:16:01] no, I can't draw, I can't paint, he still sent me a box of six
[00:16:05] pots of paint and during the whole weekend I drew
[00:16:08] 12 12 12 12 works we could
[00:16:12] say on A4 paper where I had printed
[00:16:15] on a photocopier a face uh so there
[00:16:19] was David Bowie, there was Prince, there was Gainsbourg, there was Vanessa
[00:16:22] Paradis, there were lots of artists like that who I liked and then I
[00:16:25] drew around and then I wanted to show the the the result
[00:16:29] of my work in a weekend and I said, you see
[00:16:32] look, there's no point in asking me to paint, he
[00:16:36] said, no, it's great, you're very strong and at the end of a
[00:16:39] uh where he watched where he controlled a little where I exchanged with
[00:16:43] him, he said, now you have to
[00:16:46] remove uh the face and I said, but what do you want
[00:16:50] me to do? I can't draw anything, he
[00:16:53] said, you have to uh keep
[00:16:56] your childlike soul, we don't need technique to paint,
[00:17:00] in all your canvases there are recurring motifs, what do they
[00:17:04] say about these fragments of yours?
[00:17:07] I think I've always been obsessed when I was little
[00:17:10] by uh by the
[00:17:13] crowd uh by the world, that is to say that when you
[00:17:17] are a divorced child uh you are in
[00:17:21] search of paternity so that means that there is
[00:17:25] a being missing from you so you try to find a
[00:17:28] substitute and I have always been very, very fond of it and in my
[00:17:32] room in fact there was almost like this canvas but it was faces
[00:17:35] of lots of artists. lots of different artists, my room was really
[00:17:39] covered with photos, so I have the impression that I
[00:17:43] that I reproduce,
[00:17:45] I reproduce this lack, so it comes first from
[00:17:49] solitude obviously, today it would also be the
[00:17:52] opposite, that is to say that I I would suffer
[00:17:55] almost uh how
[00:17:58] to say agoraphobia and that is to say that by being very, very
[00:18:02] famous I also have a whole kind of crowd like
[00:18:05] that which remains. uh so I
[00:18:08] went from lack to the curious,
[00:18:12] voyeuristic crowd, so faces are omnipresent,
[00:18:16] but I translate in my paintings
[00:18:19] uh this, how to say, we could say this
[00:18:22] trauma,
[00:18:27] we lose our shoes, our hair, our
[00:18:29] teeth,
[00:18:33] but we never lose our childlike soul.
[00:18:37] Let's talk a little bit about music, your latest album
[00:18:41] has a very nice title, The Archipelago of Scars,
[00:18:45] essentially female duets, what are
[00:18:48] these scars that you wanted to explore? You've seen
[00:18:51] it's a Klimt painting, my Archipelago of Scars album
[00:18:54] cover obviously it's all the suffering
[00:18:58] that we keep and that we draw on from time to time to make songs, after
[00:19:02] these are personal things, I translate I
[00:19:05] translate things into music and... into songs often but
[00:19:09] uh and into painting now, but it's true that there
[00:19:12] are a lot of things since early childhood,
[00:19:16] huh, but don't expect me to tell you, so that's an album
[00:19:19] that's old because I'm currently preparing the next one, Heritage,
[00:19:23] that's right, so that's it, but it wasn't expected for this autumn
[00:19:27] so yes but uh how
[00:19:30] would you say, no, but it's like a painting that just can't be
[00:19:33] finished, Heritage is... it's
[00:19:37] the tribute I pay to all the great artists, songwriters
[00:19:41] and composers who inspire me or who have inspired me,
[00:19:44] there are many songs, there are 34 34 and there is a double album that
[00:19:48] will be released before summer and another after
[00:19:51] summer
[00:19:53] always
[00:19:57] while I was waiting for that
[00:19:59] voice.
[00:20:12] We are now going to meet Julie de Pardieu at the Studio Marigny, a familiar
[00:20:15] face of cinema, theatre, television, an instinctive
[00:20:19] and magnetic actress, she takes on a challenge
[00:20:22] for the first time, to be alone on stage, in
[00:20:26] "La Misérable", she plays Juliette Drouet, an
[00:20:29] intense monologue that gives voice to Victor Hugo's forgotten
[00:20:32] mistress and reveals 50 years of crazy love and
[00:20:36] manipulation. "Am I therefore only made to
[00:20:40] be locked up,
[00:20:44] 12 years, 12 years locked up with a double
[00:20:47] key, 12."
[00:20:52] from 31 to 43 years old.
[00:20:55] Julie, what made you want to play Juliette Drouet?
[00:20:59] Well, when I read the play, what made
[00:21:03] me want to play her is that first of all, I think, I thought she was just one mistress among
[00:21:06] others, it's true that I knew her name but I didn't know what this poor
[00:21:10] Juliette had done. What really made me want to, is love
[00:21:14] above all, she adores him as she would perhaps
[00:21:17] adore her child except that it's her... boyfriend who doesn't behave very
[00:21:21] well with her and so she feels like he's her god, it's
[00:21:25] like he's someone who redeems her and given the era in
[00:21:28] which she lives, it's incredibly hard to be a woman in
[00:21:32] 1830 in Paris, a beautiful woman
[00:21:35] no matter what, you have no birth, you are nothing
[00:21:38] and she falls in love with Victor Hugo, he
[00:21:42] falls in love with her, I think it's love at first sight,
[00:21:44] reciprocal, but then the era makes him
[00:21:48] abuse her a little
[00:21:50] by making her copy his texts and it's like
[00:21:54] an hold, yeah and then she's at his service but you have to
[00:21:58] know what she's giving up in fact she's giving
[00:22:02] up a very, very fragile financial situation she also
[00:22:06] has delusions of grandeur she's a bit of a courtesan but she doesn't have the means she
[00:22:09] has no job security her child she doesn't even
[00:22:12] raise and she wants to dream quoi she wants to be
[00:22:15] in love and she says I'd rather still be with
[00:22:19] Victor even though it's true that he locks
[00:22:23] her up for a dozen years because since she was a bit of a
[00:22:26] prostitute he was very jealous he tells her my dear
[00:22:29] no either you don't go out
[00:22:32] alone or well we're not together anymore in fact and yes
[00:22:36] it's a hold even if this word didn't exist at the time but it's
[00:22:40] a completely uh completely exclusive and
[00:22:43] crazy relationship if he locks me up
[00:22:47] it's because he loves me it's because he wants to
[00:22:50] protect me, he wants to keep me all to
[00:22:53] himself, and I,
[00:22:57] I love the idea of belonging
[00:22:59] to him. Watching the show, I wondered how you managed
[00:23:03] to access these intimate thoughts, as well as everything she had
[00:23:07] experienced, how could the text have been so precisely
[00:23:10] documented? Well, first of all, I really made
[00:23:13] sure that everything I said was true, and I read the
[00:23:17] very interesting book by Florence Nogrette
[00:23:20] on Juliette Drouet and it's
[00:23:24] women's condition at that time it's incredibly hard and it's
[00:23:28] very well documented we know everything about Juliette when I started the
[00:23:31] rehearsals I thought oh no but I'm not her then I did
[00:23:35] it somehow as if it were me because it's very difficult
[00:23:38] to interpret someone else from another era I really identified
[00:23:42] with this absolute love she has for him no matter what Victor
[00:23:46] does we also discover a Victor Hugo who is very far from the literary monument
[00:23:50] we all know, it's important also to show this hidden side, well I think
[00:23:53] yes, at the same time, I think that really nothing is invented, rather cut
[00:23:57] than anything else, but it's not to desacralize him, it's just to say
[00:24:00] that with his genius, he's also a
[00:24:03] man, and a man at that time, well, he has needs,
[00:24:07] he lost his daughter so he becomes very anxious, he needs to be
[00:24:10] reassured, he's a human, I think
[00:24:13] that what I liked in the text is that she never speaks badly of him, she just
[00:24:17] loves him.
[00:24:20] It's incredible, Victor Hugo offers me
[00:24:23] to work with him, I
[00:24:26] am henceforth the collaborator of the greatest
[00:24:30] poet in
[00:24:31] heaven.
[00:24:39] I'm now taking you to discover the brand new face of the Fondation
[00:24:42] Cartier. After more than 30 years spent on Boulevard
[00:24:45] Raspaille, it has just moved to Place du Palais Royal in
[00:24:49] the former great. Louvre department store completely redesigned
[00:24:52] by Jean Nouvel, the place is unique, open to the
[00:24:55] city, with mobile platforms that redesign
[00:24:58] the space at each exhibition, it's our favorite from
[00:25:01] heart,
[00:25:04] hello, hello, but thank you for welcoming us to this
[00:25:08] incredible place, this move, it's a revolution,
[00:25:12] have you rethought the
[00:25:14] way of exhibiting and welcoming the public? Yes, absolutely, that's exactly the proposal.
[00:25:18] of new people is to
[00:25:21] introduce a device to create the exhibition that will really
[00:25:25] transform all these codes, these preconceptions, these practices, in fact
[00:25:29] there are five platforms that can be adjusted to different
[00:25:32] levels over a height of 10 meters, so that means
[00:25:36] for each major
[00:25:39] the Cartier Foundation will be new,
[00:25:41] different and the visitor will discover a new
[00:25:44] exhibition route, and so the Cartier Foundation, it has
[00:25:48] often highlighted... certain artistic scenes sometimes
[00:25:51] forgotten, I'm thinking of Africa, I'm thinking of South America, I'm thinking of indigenous peoples, will
[00:25:55] that remain a tradition, in any case a guiding principle for your future
[00:25:58] hangings? Yes, absolutely, and especially since today we are... are
[00:26:02] now facing the Louvre, we have a responsibility to make
[00:26:06] visible or to add to the encyclopedic
[00:26:10] historical symbols of the Louvre and one of the most important in
[00:26:13] Europe, to bring into the city of
[00:26:16] Paris precisely artistic scenes, traditions,
[00:26:20] currents, individuals who are not necessarily even
[00:26:23] recognized as artists, I'm thinking of everything the foundation also does
[00:26:27] in the sciences, architecture and
[00:26:30] to inscribe at the heart of of... museum
[00:26:33] culture, a true transdisciplinary discourse, thank you, we're going to
[00:26:37] leave you with images and I'll see you very soon for new adventures,
[00:26:51] your program with abri sud, French manufacturer of
[00:26:55] pool shelters, pergolas and
[00:26:57] carports, this was your program with
[00:27:00] Meo, the Savour coffee. committed and accessible,
[00:27:20] Shining, in a cult phrase, drawings made with a few characters
[00:27:23] or even text, you're not in the matrix but in front of digital
[00:27:27] art, ASCII art, it's the art of creating images from the
[00:27:31] 95 printable symbols of the ASCII code, a standardized computer
[00:27:35] character format that appeared in the 1960s. It's a bit the heir
[00:27:38] of calligrams and typewriter art, drawings made with a typewriter in the digital age. At a time when
[00:27:42] computers still couldn't display images, it
[00:27:46] allowed to create visual elements by
[00:27:49] the time could offer. Studies in Perception One is considered one of
[00:27:53] the first works of its kind, even if it doesn't precisely use the ASCII
[00:27:56] code. Thanks to the bulletin board system, the ancestors of forums, this
[00:28:00] form of digital drawing became really popular reproduction of famous works
[00:28:04] or original creations, it is discovered by visitors on the homepage and
[00:28:07] users sign their messages with. One of the pioneers of this art
[00:28:11] is Joan Stark, known by the pseudonyms Spunk or JGS,
[00:28:14] but particularities of the style, if the creators sign their works,
[00:28:18] these do not really belong to them, accessible to all, they can be
[00:28:21] reused and shared without limits or rights. The style gradually diversifies,
[00:28:25] outlines only or filling, then appearance of colors and new characters,
[00:28:29] we then speak of ANSI art, drawings also emerge that can.
[00:28:32] retrospectively be considered problematic, naked female bodies,
[00:28:35] sexual organs, etc., today it is an outdated genre and not very adapted to
[00:28:39] new technology, due to its form, ASCII art is generally viewed on a computer
[00:28:43] screen, on a phone, you don't see much, moreover, software now allows
[00:28:47] to convert an image directly to ASCII, so we are far from the original
[00:28:51] handmade, but its heritage is perhaps still visible in our messages, these
[00:28:54] are emoticons, the smallest possible form of ASCII art.
[00:28:57] possible.
