A series of nested nightmares
5,97 x 10²⁴ kg is a try to embrace the complexity of the world.
The homeostatic state of the world seems disturbed and so we turn our nightmares into the material for an encounter with the cyborg earth, piercing the boundaries between micro and macro, between outside and inside, between nature and technology.
An interactive experiential installation by day, by night it becomes the setting and instrument for a concert performance by three insect-like creatures and a newborn android.
5,97 x 10²⁴ kg deals with the desire and failure to locate ourselves as individuals within the complex interrelationships and barely tangible dimensions of our world. It becomes a motor to approach the topographies, organisms, structures and interconnections of the world - from our own dynamic point of view, through the body, the senses, through our technological extensions, through deconstruction and reconstruction, but above all through imagination, naivety and curiosity.
