Observing space BIO50 / Modern gallery, Ljubljana / disposition

...concept: finished...tech: in development "EMANCIPATORY UNIVERSALITY"    CONCEPT(for more info also see below: "Concept for constitution 2.0"!)  - simulation of "reinventing the utopia, sybolic coordinates of impossible",  "to cut off even more this roots in nature...we should become more artificial...abstract universe - formulas..." (S.Žižek) - liberating us from our past, using trauma of past expirience to create more progressive society... (Malcom X) - usage of old space tech (balloon, radio waves, ...) - connecting to public, society  - creating an adaptable membrane between past and future - include old "iconic" existing building - a ruin - including public  

- using trauma of past as a point of emancipation  - setting a surface for video and film projection or light-design - projection of possible space utopia (video: Daniela, film: Joseph&Carlos, etc...)  - public enters balloon (presentation of other works...?!)  - performers are in the space between the ruin and membrane (video) 

TECH:  - low cost  - old, used smaller hot-air balloon in horizontal position  - balloon integrated inside an old ruin (or old house, like MAO castle - the bio50 site) nearly filling up the space of a room...  - new-made stairs or ramp to enter balloon (!? to remain original shape)  - possible adaptation of the entrance (added fabric...etc...?!)  - using hacked original balloon heater (inside) and gas to blow the balloon (heater visible inside)  - white color, +most translucent fabric possible  - projectors and light sources positioned in the "between space"

PROJECTING (video, film) ON BALOON - wind inside of baloon (functional and experience design) - creating some unexpected conditions for Earth, wind with circualting smoke in horizontal baloon - creating a space for contemplation, contemplating a constitution

ENTRANCE (through "ring with ventilators)

PERSPECTIVE VIEW - ENTRANCE GATE (with a ramp)

IMAGINARY REAL:

SYMBOLIC REAL:

REAL-REAL:

Regarding our last topic: "Projection of observation" I did a part of transcription of Slavoj Žižek`s "The Reality of the Virtual".

10:45 imaginary real: images which are so strong, so traumatic, to strong to be perceived – but still images (monsters, creatures too strong to be directly confronted), but nonetheless it is imaginary, because it is image that is too strong to be confronted.

symbolic real: it is for example scientific discourse, scientific formulas. Quantum physics. Formulas which work, but we can not translate them into our daily experience. It just works, but if you try to build a consistent ontology out of it you get meaningless results (time running backwards, parallel universes). You get things which are meaningless to our regarding notion of reality. Formulas – they function, it is a functioning machine, but we can not make any sense out of it, we can not relate it to our experience. Which is why we try so desperate to do it – we invent metaphors to imagine quantum universe, but IT CAN NOT BE DONE.
