<tt><font size="3">Franck Ancel is having an event which will
commence a few hours after the official opening of the Shanghai
World's Fair. He proposes to each of you to experience a virtual
pavilion. This is one year before China launches its uninhabited
module "Triangong-1" into space. When translated literally, its
name means "Celestial Palace", where the Taikonautes will
conduct experiments in zero gravity.</font></tt><br>

<br>
<tt><font size="3">Franck Ancel had already brought up this near
future in his artistic project <<1957/2007: from Sputnik
Satellite to Explorer Art>>. That cosmic dimension is
today a major factor in the planetary imagination. In, during a
conference he gave in Silicon Valley, during ISEA06, he even
imagined "A Scenography towards a Planetary Network for Shanghai
2010", also concerned with satellites.<sup><span

<br>
<tt><font size="3"> Without any satellites, the current conception
of the Universal Exposition has transformed the narrow streets
of Shanghai, where the universal game of hopscotch<sup><span
style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(255, 255,
255);"></span></sup> had been played by the city's youth for
centuries. Now, <b>Ancel will create a Celestial Hopscotch</b>
in the zerography of planetary consciousness</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font size="3"> At the Universal Exposition of Paris in 1900,
Loïe Fuller danced under the flag of its electricity Pavilion. <b>Ancel
offers by Internet everyone to design their own virtual
Pavilion</b>, to "dance" on the ground of world cities, a
hopscotch grid already present on five continents where<b> the
land becomes zero and the sky infinite.</b></font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font size="3"> Franck Ancel also put this continental
universality into play in 2005 during his trip from Shanghai to
Europe when he created the world premiere, broadcasting a real
time video from the air lasting 64 minutes live over the
internet via satellite, at more than 900 kilometers per hour and
at an altitude of nearly 30,000 feet.</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font size="3"> 64 words per minute were broadcast in this video
in this manifesto in order to construct a personal cosmological
lexicon. For this new event, they will make up the eight squares
of the Celestial Hopscotch grid, which each can fill in from his
own imagination. It is this type of numerological alchemy that
will orient our event <<from zero to infinity>>
under the dome of the Temple de Pentemont in Paris on June 26,
using as its basis an original, as yet unseen, manuscript by
Mallarmé</font>. </tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font size="3"> One week before that date, a Celestial Hopscotch
grid will be drawn on the outskirts of the International Art
Fair in Basel, Switzerland. The place has yet to be determined,
but it will probably be in front of the Euro-Airport. Another
will be drawn in Paris on May 19 in rue de l'Exposition
(Exposition Street). The last Celestial Hopscotch grid will be
drawn before the Marathon of Shanghai is run just before the
closing of the 2010 World's Fair, as part of the <<Global
Poetic System>> project.</font></tt><br>
