This historical science-fiction novel takes the form of a large-scale projection, which is an interactive work that includes 2,200 images culled from different visual archives. The story focuses on the whimsical adventures of a woman in the year 1901 who has four different suitors, each with their own vision for the new century.

Existing not only as an art installation, but also as a book and a DVD-ROM, The Imaginary 20th Century proposes a new approach to narrative.
This project was originally co-sponsored by ZKM (Center for Art and Media) in Karlsruhe, Germany and California Institute of the Arts and is co-directed by Author Norman M. Klein, Curator Margo Bistis, and Media Artist Andreas Kratky.
