Happy New Year 2017!<\/h2>\n

\ufffcIt is without superstition and with the greatest realism that the whole team of Graph\u00e9ine wishes you to achieve the impossible in 2017!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"A throw of the dice will never abolish chance\"<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Let's keep learning and sharing knowledge in 2017.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go back in 1897, when Mallarm\u00e9<\/a> published \"A throw of the dice will never abolish chance<\/a>\". A nonstandard poem of 707 words spanning 12 pages, making light of traditional typographic grids, using sizes of characters worthy of advertising posters, sets of empty and full, a structure as chaotic as ordered.<\/p>\n

It is a graphic revolution, just like what the \"free verse\" is for \"the alexandrine\" in poetry. Here Mallarm\u00e9 explodes the page, explores the interstices of the words and transcribes the breaths of the voice in the language of the eyes. With Mallarm\u00e9, the page is an area of \u200b\u200bfreedom that shall inspire generations of graphic designers (we\u00a0immediately think about Robert Massin<\/a>).<\/p>\n

But the plot of the text is stranger still. It is about a shipwreck, and a Master, soon drowned too, who holds dice in his closed hand. He hesitates to throw them to\u00a0the furious waves and feels that the result, if it should\u00a0be given, should be extraordinarily important. It would provide a Number that is said to be \"unique\" and \"that can not be another\".<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The mysterious figure<\/h2>\n

For 120 years, all theorists of poetry have been striving to shed light on the meaning of the text. Commented by Sartre, Blanchot, Deleuze or Ranci\u00e8re, the poem feeds an esoteric fantasy. What if Mallarm\u00e9 had slipped in an hidden code?<\/p>\n

Quentin Meillassoux, professor of philosophy at ENS, offers in his book Le Nombre et la sir\u00e8ne<\/a> (\"The Number and the Mermaid\") a clever deciphering of the poem. We spare you the demonstration but it appears that the Number is none other than the number \"7\", which is encrypted in many details, beginning with the sum of the words of the poem. This idea, apparently fanciful, would have been at the source, for Mallarm\u00e9, of a revolutionary poetic gesture and unparalleled rigor.<\/p>\n
