“New Experiences Of The Body Through Space”

“Architecture is increasingly used as a tool to help people experience space as an open and variable dimension. Architecture is no longer considered as an object, but as a cognitive field, as an extension of our capacity to perceive. Actually, there are no borders anymore between interior and exterior, there are no fixed partitions. Architecture opens to the outside…

Stable identities as well as fixed space are no longer possible, because they do not correspond to the reality of today’s world. ..

Hybrid space proposes an approach to architecture that creates new cultural codes and disruptions within the physical and electronic networks that connect our international and local cultures.” (Mahdalickova 2009)

The interactive architecture transforms how people inhabit space. What happens when space reacts to the body, when it is formed by means of the physical rhythm? People tend to react to mobile environment in a different way than they react to static environments. Their involvement with a building becomes an interaction more than a simple reaction. The deformed space forces the individuals to react. Architecture no more imposes an identity, it creates a change. Within the innovative and interactive architecture, we create ourselves by crossing spaces which change as they react to our bodies. Consequently, space and body are closely intertwined since space reacts to the body and the body to space….

Architecture can be a tool to intensify our senses and sharpen our consciousness of the reality which tends to be erased under the influence of the speed and of the surfeit of information. Architecture can help us to find our physical body….

The architecture establishes the place and in doing so, the rhythm of the space. It is to open the existence to the universal rhythm, to harmonize it with the physical rhythm and to create a new type of subjectivity, more connected with the fluid and changeable nature. In nature there is no negation, no opposition of opposites, there is a harmony.” (Mahdalickova 2009)

“How can the age-old notion of beauty regain an importance appropriate to the 21st century? Our need for beauty has not diminished, as hard as modernism tried to erase it from art and life and supplant it with the sublime. It was a sublime that increasingly associated itself with negation and deconstruction. In contrast, vital beauty, as defined by John Ruskin more than 150 years ago, is a beauty of sympathies and affinities with life forms. Yet vital beauty must be reinvented, since life forms today can be technological as well as natural. The concept of vital beauty raises the question of how we should design our environments, our objects and our lives, and of how we might one day invent a politics of beauty.”

The publication was released during the Vital Beauty Symposium at May 16, 2012 in de Balie, Amsterdam

dOCUMENTA (13), Kassel 9/6 – 16/9 2012 (100 dage)

Kunstfestivalen dOCUMENTA (13) – dOCUMENTA (13) foregår hvert fjerde år. Den er et eksempel på at et sted kommer på det kulturelle landkort via en tilbagevendende, midlertidig festival/event.

Jeg forestiller mig, at der vil være meget inspiration i forhold til udstillingsdesign, interaktivitet, multimedier, æstetik mv.

Jeg faldt lige over følgende hvor en meteorit spiller hovedrolle:

om documenta: …via dOCUMENTA (13) – dOCUMENTA (13)dOCUMENTA (13) is dedicated to artistic research and forms of imagination that explore commitment, matter, things, embodiment, and active living in connection with, yet not subordinated to, theory. These are terrains where politics are inseparable from a sensual, energetic, and worldly alliance between current research in various scientific and artistic fields and other knowledges, both ancient and contemporary. dOCUMENTA (13) is driven by a holistic and non-logocentric vision that is skeptical of the persisting belief in economic growth. This vision is shared with, and recognizes, the shapes and practices of knowing of all the animate and inanimate makers of the world, including people. (C. Christov-Bakargiev)
