The Imaginary 20th Century is a historical comic novel and media narrative, written by Norman M. Klein and Margo Bistis, and published by the art museum ZKM. With a team of artists, the authors have invented a unique narrative machine where facts and fiction split and return, across spaces between.

In 1901, a woman named Carrie, while traveling in Europe, selects four men to seduce her, each with a version of the coming century. At least this is how the legend comes down to us. Inevitably, the future spills off course. Gradually, we discover that Carrie’s misadventures with her suitors are implicated in her uncle’s world of business and espionage. For over forty years, Harry Brown was hired to erase crimes for the oligarchs of Los Angeles and the banking industry of New York. A pioneer in how to troll, hack, and manipulate the truth for his clients, Harry often used American myths of progress and future technologies in the cover-ups. As he liked to say, fiction is more believable than fact; and espionage is a form of seduction.

In 1917, Harry sets up a massive archive of his niece’s life and legend. Completed in 1936, the archive records his obsessions with Carrie, and also the various moments in world history where he intervened. In 2004, the remains of ‘Carrie’s archive’ were unearthed in Los Angeles. Thereafter the federal government allowed a few scholars to study and decode it.

All of the 2,200 assets of Carrie’s archive have been reassembled in the order that Harry intended. The voice-over narration has been taken from his notes. Mechanically accessible to the viewer in an exploratory interface, the archive features photographs, films, satirical illustrations, manuscripts, architectural drawings, and print ephemera like postcards, stereo-cards, and maps spanning the years 1885 to 1925.

A multi-media ‘wunder-roman‘ with a print novel and essays, The Imaginary 20th Century is at once a comic picaresque and a treatise on the twentieth century. It is a playful and yet deadly serious meditation on one sentence: the future can only be told in reverse.

… The Imaginary 20th Century could be approached as a contemporary version of the classic ‘great American novel’, seen from a more global perspective and including a large number of paratextual and metatextual material. Klein is a great storyteller and the achievement of his work does not only depend on the reader’s amazement (hence the idea of ‘Wunder’, that Renaissance mix of astonishment and admiration we find at the heart of the Wunderkammer aesthetics of this novel) but also on his capacity of striking the right balance between surprise and suspense.

Klein has been a pioneering voice in the progressive disclosure of the mutual shaping and reshaping of storytelling in print and the narrative possibilities of the internet. …The Imaginary 20th Century, a work [co-directed] with cultural historian and curator Margo Bistis, is both a deepening of previous experiments and the result of new reflections on forms and formats of storytelling in the digital age. The novel told in The Imaginary 20th Century resembles more an encyclopedia or if one prepares a creatively treated archive: not just one storyline but four storylines, not just fiction but enhanced fiction, that is fiction completed with substantial visual counterparts as well as faction, often of a very self-reflective type (Klein and Bistis play ball with the reader and viewers, explaining to her the ambition, the context and the procedures of the novel). The images do not ‘illustrate’ the text, they extend it with other means. In a similar vein, the texts do not add narrative or nonnarrative captions to the images, they offer possible interpretations via specific combinations and recombinations of the often astonishing visual material.
Jan Baetens Image & Narrative

Not a work of hypertext, 电脑可用vpn reveals a more humanistic approach to database aesthetics than many other projects…. At its heart, it is a story of seduction. The past is as seductive to the contemporary viewer as the four suitors’ visions of the future are to the heroine.
Kim Beil Artweek

…Carrie’s archival tale (filled with evasions and contraditions) functions as a psychogeographical diagnostic that for us, operates as a kind of short-circuit — a comic tale potentially snapping many millenials out of their wi-fi induced social media malaise. We must get beyond our fantasmatic, unambiguous visions of the future … And this project moves as fast as you want, or excavates as far as you choose to go. Indeed, without a well-researched sourcebook like this, our premonitions and prognostications will be clouded by too much nostalgia, or false imaginaries.

电脑可用vpn not only negotiates the question of where the lines should be drawn between fact and memory, but the book doubles as a puzzle. Its central sentence reads: ‘The future can only be told in reverse’. This aphorism is as paradoxical as it is true. Because after all, it is — among other things– about four visions of the future, but a future that lies in the past; getting reconstructed from the fragments of the archive.
