    ‘[We must] open our eyes and ears each day [to] seeing life as excellent as it is… To accept whatever comes regardless of the consequences is to be unafraid or to be full of that love which comes from a sense of at-oneness with whatever.’ – John Cage

    Embracing the difference in our ways of working with ideas, both of one’s own ideas and the ideas of others, gave birth to great artistic power, expansion and freedom. (field of possibilities) ‘Fluxus is a way of life’

    Interpretation Exercise 2 (Electricity)

    Can we preserve the essence of something without turning it into a fixed moment (‘capturing the soul’), an identifiable object, or a defined concept?

    NEXT STEPS

    -Exploring how to display object prototypes and vitrines.

    -More remnants exercises i.e personal items, interests.

    -Stories as objects?

    ideas, research and where we started

    HOW everyday OBJECTS CAN CONNECT TO EACH OTHER

    We (re)imagine the vitrine as a place of action, a playground.
    Fire, kinetic objects, natural decay, processes both of LIFE and DEATH.


    Processes that sooner or later will come to an end.
    The vitrine will remain empty, with the imprints of that life.

    Exhibiting a vitrine marks the end of starring at neither dead nor alive objects. A new museum is established.

    The marks of a lived life seem more interesting to us.

    The ashes, leaving space to imagine and remember.

    What is the role of the vitrine within the context of an ethnographic museum in the future? How do we interact with objects displayed inside these vitrines? What is the role of the museum as a container of culture, thus a vitrine itself?

    MEMORIES of labels

    RETHINKING THE ‘BOX’

    OBJECT EXAMPLES

    “living” objects have the ability to make these moulds.

    The mould is caught in the vitrine.

    When the object dies, it is removed, buried, no longer needed.

    //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

    NEXT STEPS=objects//sounds//light//dead or unused//physical or analogue slop

    // Kinetic sculptures, tools and instruments //

    Can photographs die? What purposes and functions of a photograph have outside memory and story?

    The mould – steps in dirt leave an impression of our shoes behind.

    objects that capture sound and smell

    QUESTIONS: Is it about the Vitrine? Most objects within vitrines are decontextualized and can be therefore distorted. We are looking to show what imprints, marks, distortion/disruption within this context.

    Memory of labels? Embracing contradictions

    Can objects hold feelings? a more than human way of re-storytelling?

    My goal is to capture an attitude towards life 

    Surpressed by western rationality 

    Not lost however  

    Premordial to humanity 

    Action based on feeling rather than calculations. 

    In a world without money value will be individual not universal. 

    I am standing on the Viktor Adler Markt. Vienna’s loudest market criers are preparing.  

    I am looking at connection beyond nationalities,  

    I am noticing in this community giving and taking come in different forms: 

    While value has been calculated and adjusted in the heads of people 

    Here it is also precisely estimated by the heart. 

    A way of life, possibly reinforced by a different cultural background or arising from a system that has existed for thousands of years and is based on this type of exchange. 

    The market place: 

    The origin of most settlements and great civilizations. The exchange of goods is the sole purpose of the supermarket, the market however is about exchanging experiences, knowledge and feelings.  

    The greek Agora was a place where political ideas were debated, religious rites took place and traditions were shared. 

    I see the Viktor Adler Markt and its community as a relic of the past, and therefore closer to the future than any other place.  

    Because there is no Zukunft without Herkunft. 

    I am in contact with various people in the community. I will conduct an interview, although I have the feeling it may not be the ideal way to capture the human interaction, I am curious about. I am thinking of a narrative style of presenting the daily market life of the past the present and the future.
