Project type
This installation is repurposed and will be performed live, pending a future date.
The structure is made of 1" square metal tubing, the walls are wood panels with inscriptions using white markers in the interior. The video will be placed overhead and projected onto the artist as he performs.
The exterior will be inscribed with various constellation, relevant to the Maya, and will have sculptures attached.
The outside corners will have long wood poles with an attached antenna on each corner.
The installation is a commentary on the Mayan Galactic System of time and its implication to our current conditions, as presented by a fictitious network; Si-N-N Networks’.
In this architectural installation the structure represents the homebase for the fictitious Contemporary Mayan network’s center, a sacred place, and a symbolic shelter. John Major Jenkins has researched the significance of a center, a dome in a sacred place and it references, ‘houses, temples, domes, and shaman’s tent. Many cultures have left encoded information, warnings, about societal shifts based on natural cycles of historical events. ‘
This site-specific installation suggests a technological tent, a sacred place for transformation. Inside, the artist as a pseudo-shaman will act as a journalist expounding the urgency of the need as a collective society to understand the phases, we as humanity will go through, with its implications for us all.
