The French Pavilion at the 54th International Art Exhibition -- La Biennale di Venezia, curated by Jean-Hubert Martin, presents a new installation by French artist Christian Boltanski. The installation, titled "Chance", deals with the themes that are characteristic for Boltanski's work: chance, luck and misfortune.
In the main room Christian Boltanski installed a large scaffold with a oversize film strip that shows the faces of babies shortly after their birth. The film strip runs at high speed until it randomly stops and picks one of these babies, displayed on an lcd screen. In each of the two side rooms, a large digital clock counts up the world's population.

The "alienation" comment of LLCY (below) made me think just as much as did the video of the Boltanski. In many settings ( medical, governmental, educational, etc.) one is really expected to behave like a "number", and when one doesn't, one can see surprise register on the faces around one. To be designated as a number is one thing, but to comply with that and also behave like a number is a worse crime. That's what I am taking away from this experience. Thank you all.

Cybernetic-economic environmental innovation, man as victim of his own: apathy, alienation from one's own life, motivation, inadequate communication problems, stunted man as an identity to a number.
Conclusion: The global competition of nations, leads to the demise of the individual.
