The interpersonal perspective, an expedient for interactive film making

It shall essentially be demonstrated how a purely optical perspective may be met with a more interpersonal perspective. The second of these concepts allows debriefing of the system, which by analogy with classical geometrical perspective, is perfectly able to produce and reconstitute correlations, in other words programmed interactivity. Both perspectives are at work in interactive film making.

In support of this submission is: Les Perspecteurs, a piece of installation documentation, a « didactic machine » which stage directs the confrontation between the two types of perspectives, based on a project of an Annunciation of the digital era. All in all, the issue of figurability of the correlations may be viewed as an interactive project, interactivity itself conceived as rendering the correlations virtual.
