Holograms, Presence, Broad Present, PresentismAbstract
The New Dimensions in Testimony project integrates advanced filming and voice recognition techniques to present the possibility of interacting, in natural language, with the hologram of a Holocaust survivor who may no longer be alive. This article is an attempt to organize reflections around the initial estrangement caused by the contact with the holograms. For this, I mobilize notions such as of presence, broad present and presentism in order to think of holograms as a temporally non-belonging element, an excess of both past and present.
