PROMETHEISCHE KULTUR by F.A.C.E. VISUAL PERFORMING ARTS http://www.faceensemble.wordpress.com (01. November 2020) @Orangerie Theatre Documentation video
Prometheus bringt den Menschen die Kenntnis der Technik und die Fähigkeit zum Mitgefühl. Die Technik nutzen sie zu ihrem Vorteil, das Mitgefühl lehnen sie ab. Die Welt geht an der Nutzung der Technik ohne Mitgefühl zugrunde. Auch das Miteinander der Menschen wird immer grausamer. Die Götter des Olymp flehen Prometheus an zu sagen, wie der Mensch aufzuhalten sei. Doch Prometheus sagt es nicht – er hält daran fest, dass der Mensch es schaffen würde, eine neue Welt zu erschaffen, in der es kein Leiden gibt.

‘Neo-baroque I.’ was a 8 minutes two-channel video-projection on the ceiling of the Csokonai Theater’s staircase. The projection was made for especially this location, and it was a part of the Lighthouse ‘ON’ sight specific group exhibition. (The exhibition ‘ON’ presents works by artists of Lighthouse light-art society at an unusual location by utilizing the special atmosphere of Csokonai Theater in Debrecen, Hungary and turning it into an impromptu art gallery: https://lighthouse.art/)
This is the full-length documentation, rendered in VR/360 mono format.
Time-stamps:
00:00 – 01:58 Some fractal based space-filling algorithms fills the space equally and symmetrically in every direction – the ‘journey’ starts from ‘realism’. Synchro-act’ issues. (this part made with mandelbulb3d) 00:02 – 04:48 – ‘Traveling without moving’ – the time factor has arrived, but the motions are illusory since there no place to go. We were left in the origin, only the world travels around us. Positive-negative spaces crossing each other, while some lights scanning/examining them. (Signed distance fields algorithm, made with Notch) 04:50 – 05:27 – ‘Di-vision’ or you could say – the limited, separated views caused this. The space is melting and then separated into two in a repeated way, day by day, like everyday. 05:28 – 06:21 – The space plays itself – ‘Game of Life’ like algorithms – Space – self-checking, some reflects in a Cartesian space. 06:22 – 07:28 – ‘Conceptual heaven’ – eternity is just a mental construction – the inner turbulence fields became so complex that it seams like an ancient baroque space-filler. In order to emphasize the effect some cloud-like turbulence were added behind, and the sky color is the ‘video-empty’ technical blue color (R:0,G:0,B:255). Conceptually empty, but rich in appearance. (‘There are nothing but appears as everything’) 07:29 – 08:02 – ‘Dissolve’ scene – a kind of a classic ending – everything dissolves back to space (in a clockwise direction – should be in counterclockwise), there were nothing, but through the conditions it appeared as everything.
The creative process was almost a seemingly unconscious process, which is dangerous because then subconscious patterns can take control and the end result will be cliché-like. Thus, this work is also a summary of the experience (clichés) of the last ten years in the field of video mapping. I hope that with the fact that abstract video has got a classic story arch, it also reflects today’s post-Baroque (post-truth, post-internet) era.
