Chris Marker (29/JUL/1921 - 29/JUL/2012) was a French artist (writer, photographer, multimedia author, film director, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Marker)

In 1990, he created Zapping Zone, a unique multimedia work or art with the use of seven Apple IIgs. That work was bought by the French museum, Centre Georges Pompidou, located in Paris. It cannot be visible at that time but I will contact the multimedia responsible of the museum and see whether something can be done now that Chris passed away.

RIP Chris Marker!

I knew of him from La Jetee, and it's neat to hear he mobilised 7 IIGSes.

J'ai �t� en contact en juin avec Chris Marker par l'interm�diaire d'une
de ses collaboratrices pour essayer de faire revivre un programme
(dialector) �crit par Marker en basic pour apple2 dans les ann�es 80
(projet totalement b�n�vole). C'�tait en juin...
Peut �tre pourrais tu m'aider � faire les corrections n�cessaires et
m'�clairer sur le code de cette cr�ation de Marker ? car en l'�tat il
bloque apr�s le lancement...

Hi, I have heard of him way back in 1989. I am sad that he has passed away.
I'm glad that he did the seven IIGS.

Yes, Please contact the museum to see what you can do. :)
