“9+11 (2005) is made from the « 9-11 commission report”. it has been thought as an example of what could be a « poetic document », such as defined in leibovici’s essay, about poetic documents (al dante, 2007). in this essay, works by charles reznikoff, mark lombardi, or colin powell are analyzed through this new category : a poetic document is a textual, sound or pictorial device, whose aim is to process a huge quantity of data, impossible to be handled « by hand » or without any intellectual technology. The new form of representation, proposed, would allow a new use, more helpful, in our everyday life. A focus on the process of production of knowledge is thus developed through a very simple question : what does mean « to repeat an already existing utterance » ? in the tautology A=A, is the second A the same than the first one ?”
