Full Moon Transmission 03

Egon Schiele Art Center, Český Krumlov, Czech Republic

500 x 2000 mm / aluminum sheet, subwoofer, analog projector

This is a site-specific installation that builds on its previous presentation in the exterior, where its essence was to capture the luminosity and position of the Moon relative to the Earth at full moon and the subsequent transformation of these phenomena using a light analog projector. The output thus became a specific audiovisual installation. One of the themes that appears in the installation is the reflection of natural cycles, influenced by the relationship of the Moon to the Earth. A lunar cycle that has undergone an evolution of opinion during its journey, from a spiritual to a pragmatically experimentally verified insight of society. It allowed us to look at the moon's relationship with the earth as a formula of opinion that accelerates further into the future from its inception. And which in history has marked itself as one of the milestones in the perception of time or the observation of the gravitational energies associated with the full moon. However, the acceleration of thought does not narrow the circuit themes like a spearhead of spears towards one goal, on the contrary, the stream of opinions offers a branching range of views of this phenomenon to which we are exposed. It is necessary to look into the palette of interrelationships of indirect influences associated with it. This satellite that can be watched by anyone and from anywhere on earth. It is projected in all cultural (ethnic) layers. The connection to man, which is also evident in the elementary perception of day and night. Or inclusion in the context of religion. However, the installation does not aim to reveal in detail the socio-cultural horizons associated with this phenomenon. But to draw attention to their connection and mediation of the raw connection with the moon in its clearest full moon form. The moon then becomes the node from which the threads are guided by context. The installation mirror will then facilitate the virtual connection and materialization of the abstract planes. The individual viewer here represents a multitude of opinion streams that change dynamically according to the number of users. The main thought node represented by the lunar disk is converted in the installation into a range of sound frequencies that vibrate the membrane inside the projector. The soil extract is stored in the membrane at the place where the installation is located, which in a symbolic level connects the location of the installation and the scanned moon. The final synchronization of the projection position and the Moon occurs when the sound signal reaches the illuminated diaphragm and vibrates the medium on it. All the action that takes place in the projector is displayed on the projection screen, located under the projector. The projection screen is tuned to the same vibration scale as the diaphragm in the projector. This also leads the imaginary communication between the membrane and the projection surface in the installation. These vibrations, which pass through the viewers and visual foot projections, allow us to focus on a moment that may sometimes come to us as mundane or so abstract that they merge into easier reality. The installation thus offers an insight into the triangular connection of the moon, earth and man. The monthly screening was carried out in cooperation with a stolen gallery in the former laundry.

Georeplication uses a combination of two meanings, geos (from the Greek γεός - terrestrial, terrestrial) and replication, ie restoration, re-introduction, multiplication, duplication. These meanings describe the content of this kinetic device, which completes the rocks according to their energy potential.

The input medium is a mineral called magnetite. This iron ore is the oldest known substance with magnetic properties. The geeplicator works with two main attributes of the magnetite - iron, which forms the majority component of the magnetite, and the magnetic field, which it creates. During georeplication, the magnetic field of the mineral is amplified and it activates its replication process by magnetic action on the Georeplicator. With it, the geeplicator begins to complete the structure of the replicated magnetite with the help of iron particles. The generation of the original structure of the mineral is specifically caused by the transfer of energy through the skeleton of the Georeplicator. The primary impulse is therefore the interaction of the magnetite and the reservoir with iron dust. The magneto attracts the magazine, which is also repelled by the upper pendulum. Initially, the magazine is full and the pulling force of the magneto is the greatest, so the upper pendulum is pushed down by the lower, but due to gravity returns after pushing to the original position and invisible force transmits the initial impulse back to the lower pendulum, which changes the trajectory. The third diversity of motion is the oscillation of the whole structure, which is suspended on the third joint. As the iron particles in the tank gradually decrease, the effect of the magnetite is weaker. When the iron in the Georeplicator tank is depleted, the whole process stops.

As I mentioned above, the replication process takes place through the circular motions of the Georeplicator pendulums. Just as a replicated magneto has two poles, so a kinetic structure has two pendulum centers. The lower and upper edges of the structure also indicate two invisible circles, if we connect these intersecting circles, we get the proportions of the Georeplicator skeleton. The movement here therefore indicates the anchor points from which it is based.

Because the Georeplicator is designed to detect hidden magnetic charge in rocks and then interact with them, I chose Říp Mountain for mineral collection. This memorable place of Czech mythology is shaped like a table mountain with an ellipse-shaped top plateau. And under today's wooded surface, it hides a volcanic past from the Tertiary period.
