METEORA #04 ALIENATIONS in the time of corona, sitting at home, connected with the world. we feel like laughing. sitting at the edge of the world. we start thinking. an alien building of the last century (ludwig wittgenstein house, vienna, 1928) meets an alien figure of today's media (lenny belardo aka jude law by paolo sorrentino, 2016) you look at me and I look at you. I'm the world, I'm the world, the world in a box. METEORA #04 is an architectonic exercise on our cultural heritage and its challenges of today. white noise, beautiful white noise. in a room without a roof i'm staring at the ceiling. METEORA #04 will use artificial intelligence to write a text to explicate a precise position in today's world, to create a spectrum of images to reflect this world and design an architectural artefact which brings things into adequate proportions in the plentiful noise of today lenny will help us to talk about the world today, and ludwig will help us to make detailed architectonic arguments.
