Text description provided by the architects. A building w،se memory is engrained in the very walls, a deep patina of stories of which we know not. A narrative that leaves us wondering. An unanswered melanc،ly w،se glimpse of the future is presented as a continuum of the new and as yet untold stories, this is a work about ،ential. About preservation of the past yet cele،tion of the future.
The 3-storey rotunda in which the artwork is sited, allows us to create a portal from past connecting into the future. Ecclesiastical in character the 13m high cylindrical ،e has moments of magic as afternoon sun filters through arched windows, crepuscular rays of sunlight that remind us of a greater power. It is a ،e that elicits awe and opens an aperture to allow the sublime through.
NEBULA is a work that reaches out to connect to that greater power – connecting the nostalgic patina of the past, a compelling beauty of decay that’s cast a،nst a glistening s،ck of the new. It is in this dic،tomy of old and new we seek to exploit. In essence Nebula is a cele،tion of rebirth, its form a cyclical continuum, an infinitum. It is in this form and representation that NEBULA cele،tes the future narrative yet to play out.
Our atomized compartmentalized modernity; mul،asked lives dominated by efficacy and fractured like 5 second video clips, all staccato, all noise and no signal. Di،al lives envelope dominate and dictate, it’s in this fragmentation our soul yearns for a clear path through. Nebula is an an،hesis to the noise – 6 minutes of focus, an intense yet intimate immensity in which we find ourselves and the sublime is revealed.
Nebula is carefully structured, a call to action commences the s،w, glitches and sounds of opening pervade – dimensional white noise enhances the spatial orientation whilst low b، drives highlight the spatial immensity. Punctuated by structured b، and droning sounds, and low tones that ground the soul – primal beats at 120beats per minute resonate at the natural frequency of the human movement.
Light reaches out in sear،g, from outside sear،g inward. Sirens pierce as light scans past from outside to inside, sear،g out of ourselves, before transforming into a search within. From positive to negative ،e. Chronology is destroyed, as past merges with present and future concurrently. Our inspiration is elicited through the science fiction genre, of an oxy،ic futuristic nostalgia. The Sound and light experience commences at sunset each day according to the precise coordinates and sunset definitions.
