We have not \"overcome\" circular time, which beats out the rhythm of our daily living. Historical time governs our decisions and the acts we base on those decisions. As for post-Modern, sand-heap time, it remains an uncomfortable, confusing concept, which we have not yet incorporated into our experience and thinking. Yet it is this new time that shapes artistic creation. And thus it helps to make artists more conscious of the task to which they are committed: the inversion of the absurd tendency of the world toward entropy, toward ever more probable (and therefore ever less interesting) situations.

Living organisms contradict that principle by preserving and transmitting genetic information. They constitute a memory in defiance of the entropy of nature. Mendel's biological law states that acquired information cannot be transmitted from organism to organism. Our species contradicts that law by having an elaborate cultural memory, progressively storing acquired information to which successive generations have access. This double negation of nature, although only temporary, constitutes the human condition. Human dignity, which distinguishes us from all other known beings, can be defined as the fact that we have both a genetic and a cultural memory, that we are 'historical beings'. Human dignity will acquire new meaning as electronic memories radically transform our cultural memory. This article considers some aspects of that transformation.
