+ | Starting from the statement that this is a project in collaboration with Science and Art. One of the main goals is two interfere in the low of nature by mirroring the human impact: which means that we will interfere in the ecosystem, by generating a system that is in the edge of creating an epidemic. The idea is to cross legally the borders between France and Belgium with the termites in a van and place them underneath the house. In order to make it legal, a series of negations with the environmental low will occur during the next year. It should be visible that there is a trajectory, a discussion between art science and low. By bringing a species that doesn’t belong to Belgium ecosystem, it will raise speculations amongst environmentalists, | ||
+ | So for all the means of scientific research and artistic creation, the idea is to find strategies to make legal the “entrance” of termites in the country. It is a question of authority and hierarchy of powers. How to interfere in the ecosystem of a country by following the rules of environmental low? How capitalism system interfere in the ecosystem by exploiting its natural resources and by implementing artificial resources. That is the paradox, if capitalism system and politics can interfere in the low of nature. Together: Art and Science can find strategies to undergo the low. Because by persuading a rhetorical quest of ecological solutions for our society, we are able to join forces and generate systems of contra-actions upon the system. | ||

+ | Europe governments are not supporting completely independent systems, which means sustainable houses with any economical interests, such as water, electricity and gas. This house is a model of sustainable living where there is no relation to capitalism system: it is a model of sustainable ways of living, that follow the principle that nature is no longer nature, we are surrounded by nature which is created for human purposes where capitalism system leads and owns the food market and all sort of nature resources. | ||
+ | Scientists claim art as a mediator to communicate scientific facts within climate change while the era of communication is part of a past. We have to find strategies to interfere in the low of all systems. | ||
+ | ====Artist statement: | ||
+ | The actual state of the existent non-symbiotic relation of humanity and Nature, remains an unstable concern amongst contemporary philosophers and scientists. The second decade of 21st century is perceived as a utopian illusion of hope, as an inner scar deep inside the heart of humanity. We live a era of controlling, | ||
+ | ====5- The House==== | ||
+ | 5.1.Concept: | ||
+ | The intention is to research about sustainable strategies to build a wounded house, as if its surrounding reality is presented as the main entrance for a “wounded social sculpture”. The house is a result of a research done during two years about wounded spaces. It is a construction of an architecture body, which has an internal dysfunction on its own metabolism. It is a body that grows out of alienation within its own species, others species and the environment where it grows. As if it’s born out of an existent infected body, like a spreading cancer. | ||
+ | Design by Ken de Cooman | ||
+ | The collapse encounters a metaphorical approach that suspends the idea of societies on its floating economical and capitalistic system. The house will be suspended in only one point, which sustains both living systems, the space and the individual, the artist and its own creation, the environment and humanity, the present and the future, life and dead. It reveals a mutual collapse, which is only possible by the interference of non-existent species in the Belgium ecosystem: Termites. The process remains a survival, an appropriation of organic material from termites: by eating the wood, architectonic paths will be assembled in the house, and at the same time the new paths will lead the structure until its own collapse. The moment of collapse reveals the moment when nature takes back: internal body collapse. Where the wisdom and power of human society is not able to interfere in the process of drowning systems. Where there is no point of return. It is a reference of unexpected collapses which by the lows of nature the end is never predicted. | ||
