Inspired by the phenomenon of the internethype and its wave-like existence which finds its birth in a small movement of a finger a conception of space called CLICKBOX was developed.
This BOX is able to make the current CLICKS of the worldwide-web visible. This allows the recipient to get involved into the pulsating heart of the virtual and abstract network. The pulse of the worldwide-web becomes visible and forms a tangible environment that reflects on the human and organic structures that  (maybe)lie beyond the virtual space.

Mechanic Entities explore nature as their habitat. An observation of the performative behavior of mechanic devices in a surrounding called nature (or better: the opposite of their usual habitat). Offer them a stage for spiritual rituals. What happens when mechanic entities leave their normal habitat and are exposed to nature? What happens when they find themselves in places where humans celebrated their rituals before? How can these mechanic entities look like? How do they behave? Are they able to adapt?

[First heartbeats]



During the last day of our excursion to Sauen I went to the woods and found a device attached to a tree:

Device in the woods.jpg

Device in the woods closer.jpg

I found some interesting data stored on a SD-card within that device.


Some observations on nature and the civilized world:

E1: civilized world // structured in a linear/geometric way, aims for simplicity, brings out complex structures and beings that are able and are NOT able to communicate with each other in a proper way. As a human entity I feel a lot of stress in that environment and feel the urge to fit into that structure or otherwise I will get left behind.

E2: nature // unstructured or structured in a more chaotic way, aims to stay alive and bring out more and more complex beings that are able to adapt themselves to their surrounding (evolutionary process). Most entities within that environment are able to communicate within a network that is depending on each other e.g. mycelium. As a human entity I feel more relaxed in that surrounding and I feel like I am part of something bigger.

I want to emphasized that E1 and E2 are not to be seen as opposite positions within a binary system and I don't claim my observations to be necessary true or scientifically correct. This is just the attempt to define characteristics of two environments that are of certain interest for me during the project. Interpretations may vary.


Question to keep in mind: What does the urge of “wanting to fit into a structure” have to do with current social/political events (Migration/Terrorism)!?
