Installation Design—- Koyaanisqatsi = Unbalanced LifeThe installation presents itself both as a critical analysis of the themes depicted, and as an extended investigation on the subject of man vs earth. A visual and interactive interpretation of current affairs.We started our thinking while watching the following documentaries.
Koyaanisqatsi (1982) - Godfrey Reggio
Home (2009) - Yann Arthus-Bertrand
Life in a Day (2011)- When everything is connected to everything else,
for better or worse, everything matters.Bruce MauWe are part of a greater system. All our social, economic or environmental decisions, rely on the realization that the world functions as a whole.If today we can safely imagine a man on a moon, 50 years ago that same possibility was seen with skepticism. Today we face other discussions. In a world where information travels at high-speed, we try to examine how fast language can keep up with this new rhythm, recognizing human beings' preponderance and responsibility as individuals, as citizens.
Buckminster Fuller created a new model as an alternative to conventional maps. This projection showsus an objective look at our world, preserving shapes and sizes without splitting any continents.
Think global, act local.Buckminster Fuller
Most of the time, we live our lives within these invisible systems, blissfully unawareof the artificial life, the intensely designed infrastructures that support them.
Bruce Mau, Massive Change
The broken projection is filled with people, connections and interactions. Without them it fails.See the projection video here
- Our language is in a state of vast humiliation.It no longer describes the world in which we live.Godfrey Reggio
