A different kind of creative
A historical science-fiction novel, The Imaginary 20th Century operates as a gigantic interactive data field with 2,200 images and an original sound composition. The story involves the picaresque adventures of a woman who is seduced in 1901 by four suitors, each with their own vision of the coming century. We navigate through the suitors worlds, follow the woman (Carrie) on her travels, witness what she and her lovers forgot to notice; and experience the tastes and sounds of the period from 1893 to 1926. It is a whimsical meta-journey, available on DVD-ROM with an accompanying book. The co-directors are: Margo Bistis, curator; Norman Klein, author.
