Media Change: Hybrid Forms and Digital Mediation 2021 was a pivot year for hybrid forms. The imagined trio’s collaboration — a restored Pagnol film introduced by Carrera and curated by Vidal for a digital festival — exemplifies how traditional texts became sites of layered mediation: archival footage presented alongside new critical apparatus, director’s essays, or community-oriented Q&A sessions. This layering complicates authorship while democratizing access; it also raises questions about the aura of the original work and the transforming role of mediators.
"Carrera’s lens shows us what Pagnol saw, but drained of color. Vidal’s voice tells us what Pagnol wrote, but drained of certainty. 2021 is the year we realized you cannot go back to the bastide. You can only photograph its ruin."
For a developer like Pagnol, Vidal’s insights provided the roadmap for the future. The 2021 real estate boom was not just about low interest rates; it was about the "digital client." Vidal’s narrative during this period emphasized that real estate agencies and developers could no longer simply sell square footage; they had to sell a digital experience. His presence in think tanks and media during 2021 helped bridge the gap between physical development and the digital economy, urging companies to adopt PropTech solutions to remain competitive.
A cornerstone of Vidal's 2021 teachings was the transition of the workforce. Rather than viewing automation as a tool for immediate mass layoffs, he detailed how upskilling employees to manage automated platforms yielded significantly higher profit margins over a multi-year horizon. 3.

In the context of the 2021 project, Vidal was the "digital savvy" force behind the exposition's promotional and experiential strategy. His background as a publicitaire (advertising professional) and his passion for new media—approaching culture in a playful rather than academic manner—made him the ideal candidate to bridge traditional art and modern audiences. He was responsible for utilizing digital platforms to extend the exposition's reach, creating a multimodal experience that went beyond the physical confines of the event space. His understanding of how to craft narratives that resonate across borders was crucial for a project aimed at global audiences.
