THE CENTER OF INTERDETERMINATION: AN ESTHETICS OF THE INTERACTIVITY?
CONFERENCE OF GREGORY CHATONSKY ON THE NEW MEDIA
(http://www.incident.net/users/gregory/pdf/BERGSON.htm)

A question will be used to us as discussion thread: "how the programs can generate indetermination, the improbable one and improgrammable? To answer these questions supposes that an esthetics is developed."(Bernard Stiegler).This esthetics will be founded on the assumption that the interactivity is the proposal for an imagined causality or in other words that "there is never for us instantaneous."(p. 72).It is as from this differed time that esthetics can begin. Numerical works will be regarded as small laboratories of bergsonian philosophy, and we will try to find between them and the aesthetic operation of the witnesses a parallelism of structure.
