[Тэкст даступны толькі на англійскай мове] ABOUT THE PROJECT
Interactive projection, combining Kinect and a custom control box.
All beings are dots in the line of the environment. Keep them in peaceful balance or stir them in chaos. You choose, because you have the power...right? The work explores the topic of control in the context of climate change, and more precisely - the illusion that people have the ability to exercise control over such global processes. Questions about cause and effect arise and there is a general feeling of confusion in a situation which, at a first glance, seems completely clear.
ABOUT THE CONTEXT
Occupy Earth is a collaborative project organized in 2017-18 by Aalto University in Helsinki, and Parsons School of Design in New York. The collaboration explores the polarized discussion of climates, both political and ecological, we now face as an earth-bound species in the 21st century. Through the process of creating virtual and physical “mixed reality” hybrids, the project addresses a range of themes including human’s illusion of control over climate disruption, our reaction to non-human entities, and potential conceptions of an ecology without nature.
