Let's go back in time and travel over a century. Let's teleport to the time of Camille Flammarion and Charles Cros. Let's stop at the moment when we knew we could communicate across continents. Let's imagine that these continents are far apart and that few people physically make the journey. Most haven't met physically, but communicate from a distance. Let's imagine sending or receiving messages from a faraway land without having been able to go there in person. First written messages, by telegraph, then oral messages, by telephone.

Against this extraordinary backdrop, how can we not imagine receiving messages or hearing voices in distant time directions? How could they not? Their credulity and naivety were matched by their desire. A testimony to an era overtaken by the acceleration of its inventions, deluded by its technological advance and the feeling that it was already moving almost too fast, and which resonates strangely with our own: an era in which we are jointly discovering ways to decode/recode/combine living things, just as we are discovering ways to communicate via interfaces invisible to the naked eye.
