2. hypermedia installation _ 2 computers, 2 monitors, 2 multimedia
projectors, 2 screens: Esoth Eric and antiEsoth Eric compose the hypermedia
application Esoth Eric, developed on the same given equation that has 1, 0
or -1 as a result. the two projects can be accessed independently from two
computers. the projected images are overlapping on the screen which plays the
role of a melting pot from where the alternative results of the equation emerge.
> Esoth Eric _ the elements of equation correspond to the
biographemes of the character and can be combined according to the preferences
of the user or can be accessed chronologically. the result revealed by the
melting pot will always be different.
> antiEsoth Eric _ such as the minimal difference between
matter & anti-matter makes possible the existence of the world we think
to know, any pixel has its anti-pixel. therefore, antiEsoth Eric’s existence
cannot be overlooked.
Q.E.D.: if x = 0 any affirmation loses its sense. in reality
zero is the golden number of hypermedia works. if x = -1 singularities and
limits are abandoned and one can speak of the imaginary time where everything
is possible. if x = 1 a numeric object is shown, as an effect of organizing,
tuning or intentionally covering a sonorous or graphic space. this object,
with no precise meaning, is named krestanatz.
