CONSCIOUNSESS VERSUS OBJECT'S PHENOMENA _ A CELESTIAL EXPLORATION

PRESS & PLAY.

Video Voiceover transcript: Golden pyramid particles embedded with our Consciousness are loaded onto spacecrafts and propelled to the geosynchronous orbit to experience the life of objects and space debris. Imagine sending your mind to space to transcend your knowledge and protect the planet. Could this experience help us understand a critically alternative point of view in the way in which we look at ourselves and the objects around us? Our particles swarm to assemble a flexible sphere around the earth with the purpose of protecting it. The shield represents all the inhabitants of the earth as we act collectively at a global level against the injustices of the world and take care of our home. Celestial architectures are taking shape embellishing our skies designed to recycle space debris and produce valuable resources. The particles reflect sunlight, harvest solar power and help our Consciousness connect to the objects in orbit to experience their lives looking back at the planet from the sky as celestial conscious bodies. We have the chance to experience life from a different perspective. We must bridge between this world and all its species, objects and realms even the cosmic ones. Could this answer some of our existential questions about the life of the living and non-living and bring our Consciousness back to Earth free of uncertainty? The Journey of experiencing the life of objects is almost tangible. The swarm of particles is the organizational structure of the future where the living and non-living stand even-handed as if we can only address climate catastrophes if we all work in unity.

“CONSCIOUSNESS VERSUS OBJECT'S PHENOMENA_A CELESTIAL EXPLORATION” is a science-fiction scenario that portrays a celestial flexible sphere around the Earth. The animation provokes issues around environmental justice through radical space architecture, raising questions on the life of the living and non-living matter, and bringing it forward to philosophical levels such as object-oriented ontology. It is a conceptual project about how all humans as collective agency can take more responsibility for managing Earth’s resources and protecting the planet. The proposal tries to explore environmental justice through architecture and to educate humans on the life of objects, bringing forward the concepts of Object-Oriented Ontology. The project is set in the year 2161, in a utopian post-singularity future, 200 years after the first human travelled in space to orbit around the Earth. The time has come for humans to almost come to disconsider the concepts of anthropocentrism in favour of an Object-Oriented Ontology type of approach where people try to go beyond their cultural, physical and psychological boundaries by understanding the mysteries of the life of objects and how they came to exist, as they are not here only to serve us.
