Cosmologies: Laboratories (Sphere6)
3 of 3 Editions Available
AvantGarden Cosmologies show a series of worlds filled with proto machines and other supporting Internet-of-Things network actors. By diving in between threads, paths, sphere-nodes and proto-machine nurseries, we witness variable atmospheric conditions controlled by a multitude of actors. Underground and aerial hotspots and diverse water flows and fountains uncover complex poetic and vibrant playgrounds.
Like mythological Arcadian meadows as places for people from all walks of life, the Epicurus school of philosophy called the Garden or a Taoist philosopher’s garden, these out of the ordinary places that we temporarily inhabit have their own rules, gravity, time and ecosystems. Like noospheric playgrounds and laboratories, they offer us the option to step out of everyday routines and enter a place of probabilities, for thinking, feeling, sensing of and about the world – our world, and possibly other worlds, derived from our own, improved, imaginary yet real.
