Insight0I0 1999 Projekt: " Built Platon´s Cave" bei: Prof. Daniel Libeskind “Plato’s” “story of “the cave”” as “understood” by “Nadine Meisel” : ”the cave“ ”our reality (as ”the cave“)“ ----------- = ----------------------------- ”our reality” ”outside reality” I’m conscious of “Plato’s cave-system” as an encapsulation of different caves, each one as a sphere of awareness. “Insight outside?” There’s no way to build this 3-dimensionally because of it’s infinite self-similarity and size. I cannot build one cave from the inside, as I’m never sure which cave I’m in and as soon as I build walls, it would be a view from the outside. I see the relationship between the inside and outside as a matter of light and reflection in space. This is leading to “Insight 010” as a mechanism to experiment with various perceptions of reality in order to become aware of the relative truth of “what I’m seeing”. Put yourself into space with “Insight 010”: “Insight 010” is a construction which is worn and spins around your head, giving you the perception of space. The mirrors all around are arranged in such a way that you never get a perspective of the environment. “Insight 010” changes direction and movement and puts yourself into your own view. Nothing you see is in it’s place ! Insight outside ? Inside & outside merge together. As I move around, I experience absolute disorientation within a familiar sphere. When relaxed, I feel removed from my original sphere into a generated one. But when trying to orientate I find myself somewhere inbetween . |
