Horizon Community Display

2019
Originally commissioned by Alkovi
Also presented at Richter

'Horizon Community Display' is a 3D graphic knowledge poem, a display ecosystem on view at Alkovi. One might refer to it as 8 blocks of knowledge or a collage of gravitational themes. Its double (multiple) nature belongs somewhere in between a book, a ritual, and a less-familiar zone. A friend who came to see the install said it felt like being aware of our existence within a speculative-knowledge-mystical-space, where diagrams and symbols ease the transition-timing-function - a dimension which we are all part of, we have just yet not fully understood that. The installation calls for the ability of knowledge to mutate and transform, in a time where our perception is fragmented and works as a proxy in a current state of disorder.

Though 'Horizon Community Display' might come first as an overwhelming exposure - you are confronted with a space that contains a large amount of information - your connection to what is there happens over time. One should feel no pressure to read (all of) it at once. Different areas of Alkovi's vitrine (including the ones that open this text) will find interlinks between each other slowly. The distance between graphic objects and political objects will shift. Speculative logics will rise and fall irregularly. And your perception will transform the display's own dimension as you pass by, from a window, from the street and from elsewhere, in a free-flow temporal order."
