︎DOCUMENTA FIFTEEN

DIRECT MEDIA - X
luka murovec

Placed in the public space of Karlsraue Park, adjacent to the Kassel Art School's Department of Sound, stands a 2-meter-tall metallic sculpture. Its sturdy front panel, made of perforated steel, acts as a protective shield for its high-definition speakers and subwoofer. Through this integration, the sculpture has the capability to emit carefully selected audio artworks, enveloping the surrounding area with immersive and pristine sound.

X is a transversal axis of Direct Media [Department of Sound] / Kunsthochschule Kassel conveying media-specific practices and a subsequent series of publications done in collaboration with the Research Network for Philosophy and Technology.

The new floating bathing platform is designed as a collage of the existing pool and a number of new platforms and bathing facilities.

The Blue Park is a continuation of raumlabor’s public sauna and pool project from 2014/ 2015.

The sauna will be refurbished for a long-term public use, new amenity buildings will be built and integrated into the waterside of the former harbour.

Clouds are in perpetual motion. Sometimes they may appear static, but they are being driven by the wind — a force which we cannot see.

On our initial site visit we noticed that one of the main features of Södra Frihamnspiren is its remarkable windiness.

Though wind is often considered a nuisance on public projects and building sites - we see it as an unused resource.

IZIS 2023

ELEMENTARY PARTICLES

At this year's IZIS we tried to acknowledge and accept - as much as we could - Rovellis relational interpretation. To make the Libertas exhibition space display the highest possible degree of interconnection with what is exhibited. The curatorial work with the authors. The limits of personhood with authorship. And above all else: the creative process of each of us with the inner core of necessity that drives us. And after all these years that have passed since the youthful aspirations of the first IZIS - if it is true that the elementary particle is the relationship - "which was a tangle of intellectual tumult, free spirit and friendship," to verify if this statement still holds true.
