Within a possible, probable, or plausible future, we find a planetarium-like infrastructure that accommodates debris of a subjectivity inscribed in a very particular aesthetic regime. By switching between the ipsocentric and the altercentric — the self-centered and the other-centered — visitors explore this artefact with internet star-reviews that floats in the vagueness of outer space.
Pressing any of these reviews projected on the dome transports you to a real-time view of the cosmos as seen from the location being reviewed, the Museum of Natural History and Science in Lisbon. A fine line between the humorous and the poetic is thus expanded in an interactive essay about imploding meanings.
This project traces the general disposition that Beatriz Colomina and Mark Wigley make of the so-called transparent human being. One that is «fully articulated in their likes and dislikes as a market-oriented concept of an ideal consumer who constantly provides feedback to reduce any friction in the production, distribution, and consumption of artifacts.»
