CELLULAE.NETmetaSpongia (proposal)

intro | concept | realisation | technology

Concept - background and idea:

The title (metaSpongia) is temporary name in consideration, and I m trying to hint to the idea of "almost organic" density - its multiple "folds" and "pores" - of a collectively modified digital space. So I am here using metaphor of "a sponge organism", that creates its own hidden image, and invite to a travel into it's "volume", contents of which are not easily seen on surface.

In the age of growing surveilance, media manipulation and reality simulations, the context of images (esp. audiovisual) become the image itself and the image can multiply in endless parallelly existing (and experieriencable) "realities", that are not "less real" than the "reference reality".

Additional inspiration: the "magic" of a hologram, where the any of the fragments of the broken hologram plate still contains the whole image.

By experimenting with moving, artificial stereoscopic images (for almost 3 years now) one of the hounting themes for me have been exploring "the potential hidden space" that traverses the any picture's plane (framed slice) - the "missing parts" of the captured reality fragment or "virtual" (imaginary) "extensions". It has been somewhat "vivisecting search" for this "whole image" and it's "bridges" to other images, presuming (and revealing) to be almost a touchable reality itself.

Expectations:

Multi-perspectives (endo, supra- and "negative" perspectives) as a constructed (unimaginable) visual experience, "expanded" spatial awareness. A window to a paradoxical "virtual scenery" extravaganza -, as a cinematic, immersive installation, fusion of the "photographic", "illusory" and "abstracted" realities.

"saturate" the "contextual density" and "collide" the scales of representation, juxtapose various audiovisual reproduction and reference systems - large pulsating "forest", patched together from the "leafs" and "rivers" from the contributed P.E.R. shared environment or other online partners.
