The Ouvroir, a virtual space in Second Life, was made by Marker (or perhaps by his cat/avatar Guillaume) in collaboration with Viennese architect Max Moswitzer. The discussion above focuses on a particular collage/poem that resembles Marker’s style and is set in Second Life. Hope that helps somewhat clarify things that are by their veiled nature somewhat confusing to begin with…

Was the Ouvroir made by Chris Marker or not? I’m confused.

Quentin – thanks for the note on the comic book. That is a must-get, for sure. Eupalinos: I did write Lucien – we’ve exchanged a few emails in the past and i dug up his address. I, alas, am not even a noob in SL. But I do plan on diving in and making my stumbling bumbling way to the Ouvroir, by hook or by crook. I will let you know my sorry avatar’s name then!

I may be wrong but I think both sites are from Lucien “solo”. I’ll ask him the next time I see him in Second Life or better you could ask him directly (with my help if needed as he told me his english is not so good). We are both “members” of the “Ouvroir” group who was initiated by MosMax who designed the sphere museum. What is your avatar name ?

The Attrapeur d’images’ blog is simply the online transcript of a comic book published several months ago by Editions Tanibis (tanibis.net). I’ve sent you an e-mail about it…

This 2nd site you refer us to is fabulous, another eye-opening experience. Wow. I can only thank you again, M. Ugajin. I’m curious, when you say “created by” I wonder if the site i discuss was a collaboration and Lucien, who I’ve (virtually) met too, supplied the blogger know-how with Chris creating the montage and poetry, whereas the 2nd site, the one you link to in your comment, seems like the creation of M. Bookmite solo but implying some time spent in deep conversation and visitation with CM. Any light you might shed on this, despite my caveat about the perils of ascribing authorship anymore, or even wishing to, would be illuminating. I transgress my own theoretical goals, but … it happens. Curiosity got the cat, after all.

L’Archipel Fantôme was created by Lucien Bookmite (Second Life avatar name) as is : http://lattrapeurdimages.blogspot.com/
