of a neighborhood (La Défense), a city (Paris), a country (France), or a continent (Europe), but thanks to billions of meandering highways of information, extends to the remotest corners of the planet, and maybe beyond it, in the future, without problems ... Also the various functions of the original TLC, light and dynamic animation of its structures and mirrors, which are only briefly mentioned. But developments in technology will allow more opportunities over time. Other functions do not exist, such as interactive influence on the very functions of the environment or the town. Undoubtedly the SL TLC does not have to be “the same” as the TLC. She is the image of today and the complete work of its author and his team. Moreover, it is good that the SL Tower keeps under construction, a project alive, because fixed, final, she would be dead. Other parameters are present such as, in each level of the Tower, created and installed by real avant-garde artists, complex cybernetic sculptures that can be modified by the presence or action of Avatars. A weekly one hour show in the Tower : Ravel’s Bolero, ends the show presentation of the Tower with an abstract choreography and a ballet of Avatars in Dreamcostumes dancing in the insistent rhythm of a haunting Bolero that falls in extremis in our twenty-first century ... In its base where galleries and museums, halls for meetings and debates should have been located, is now the Museum of Avatars : unique in the world, tracing their history and that of research since men exist, up to this spectacular stage where everyone has the freedom and the
opportunity to “own” his own one… priceless gift! “Socialization of the art” so dear to Schöffer! And all this is not over ... Cybernetics ! That is the great law of evolution, which restores all lost balances, which diversifies all the redundancies, which disrupts the habits in favor of “life” and that creates ad infinitum and boundlessly, as described in the Cathedral’s Rosewindow... in which the Masters of the Middle Ages had to limit and fix the stained glasses when they wanted to symbolize God’s creation, infinite and in movement... At each time its tools, to engrave the same “idea”, the same Truth. Here the language is digital, binary ... but ... we’re not talking of Leonardo’s brushes... One enjoys the work, listen to its voice, it talks to you, it energizes you, it pulls you out of the jail of time, it fascinates ... We have no words ... no one knows what to think ... Very well ! That’s a good sign ... let you be “moved”... The only word of the only thought is Gratitude. Gratitude to all those who contributed to give a virtual reality to Schöffer’s ”dream”.
