Lignes de temps , another sight over Abbas Kiarostmi and Víctor Erice works

The Espace critique is composed by documentary resources, critical elements in relation with Centre Pompidou Cultural Dept. activities and annotation tools developed by the IRI.

This computer disposal, online with the review "L'amateur" (opening in 2008), can also be sometimes available in Centre Pompidou exhibitions or in spaces related to Centre Pompidou Cultural Dept. activities (Shows, Cinema, Audio reviews, Forums de Société).

A new system for visitor guidance and participation

To enrich the exhibition Traces du sacré (Centre Pompidou, May 7th - August 11th 2008), a new multimedia system is accessible to listen to curators and figures from the world of culture and the art. Visitors can also record their own comments, using the multimedia guide or their mobile phones. Afterwards, visitors will be able to access their audio comments on the Internet, modifying, annotating and indexing them, thanks to the software Lignes de temps, before publishing them on a collaborative web site developed for this event.
