"Molecule”
- Interactive
video installation in collaboration with Wolfgang Spahn (www.wolfgang-spahn.de)
"there is nothing apart from atoms and
empty space: the rest is an opinion"`
Our knowledge of the world is based on an atom. We learn about it entering the school, we experiment with it looking into the future. We know that atoms are born in nuclear reactions of stars and they bind into molecules which then constitute our atmosphere, oceans and organic matter that we belong to. These "extremely minute particles" are constantly interacting with each other thus making everything that exists inter-dependent and part of much larger ecosystem.
It
is based on 3D interactive model of an atomic structure of a protein. The public
can explore it moving white balls (representing atoms) scattered in the room.
This form however is never seen from the outside, as a whole, giving the
participants a feeling of being a part of some bigger overwhelming structure.
This
restless arrangement of atoms is combined with ever-changing sequences of
videoanimations referring to basic elements and state of matter. The piece
creates a dynamic and contemplative landscape, a kind of atomic puzzle,
underlining the fundamental homogeneity, instability and interdependence of
components of our world. The interactive aspect of the installation enhances the
experience of the space as a dynamic and complex system of inter-relations.
