« fleuryfontaine fait l’archéologie du moment cybernétique pour constater le passage de la modernité à la gouvernance algorithmique. La théorie de la connaissance, alliée à celle du Capital, s’exprime ici à travers la métaphore de la liquidité, fantasme partagé par les adolescents,les ingénieurs et les prédicateurs d’un monde sans pertes et sans frontières sans cesse régénéré. »
– Alexis Jakubowicz, Salon de Montrouge, 2015
Only the Waiting Remains is a computer program connected to the internet and created with a video game engine (Unity 3D). Every 15 minutes, the program monitors X (ex Twitter) for occurrences of a list of expressions composed of words belonging to the lexical field of liquidity, combined with terms used in finance (liquid, stream, wave, flow, finance, exchange, management, etc.). The more these expressions appear on Twitter, the rougher the sea appears. Conversely, the less these expressions are used, the calmer the sea becomes.
«fleuryfontaine performs an archaeology of the cybernetic moment to observe the transition from modernity to algorithmic governance. The theory of knowledge, allied with that of Capital, is expressed here through the metaphor of liquidity—a fantasy shared by teenagers, engineers, and preachers of a world without loss and without borders, constantly regenerated.»
