AbstractThe theory of artialisation developed by Alain Roger (Roger, 1997) is still a conceptual benchmark in landscape theory, particularly in France. This paper briefly reviews the French debate about landscape that was coeval with the emergence of this theory. The definition of landscape implied by Roger's theory is then submitted to a double criticism,both internal and external. The internal criticism highlights a logical gap in the use of the notion of patrimonialization, which prevents this theory from reaching operativity in the design of landscape policy,although it claims to do so. The second external criticism suggests that this theory does not explain the genesis of landscapes, once again contrary to its claims. In both cases, the gap is due to the missing link between the landscape and its substratum, degré zéro, as Alain Roger has named it.

With the appearance of photography, images were no longer merely representational, they became the site of the world's memory as well. Cinema, which animates photography and mirrors reality back at itself as its double, makes photography into living memory. However photography quickly finds ways to play with appearances, to construct images in which the apparent reality corresponds not to an "objective" memory but to a fiction. The real world is taken less as a point of departure, more as a model to copy from. Subsequent technological developments in imaging have accentuated this rupture. With image synthesis and interactive television, both specialists and ordinary viewers construct their own personal show out of the elements presented to them. The screen has now become the site of a memory of the virtual.
