DARKSTAR PREVIEW AT KINETICA
Announcing an exclusive Kinetica preview of
DarkStar, an innovative immersive installation currently in the final stages of
development. Video footage of the project will be on display and project
initiator Martin Bricelj Baraga will be present. 
 
WHAT IS DARKSTAR?
DarkStar is a developing interactive sculpture for
public space that generates an audiovisual interpretation of its direct and
indirect surroundings. The installation reacts to the space it is situated
in and the people around it but also to the movements of the stars.
 
DarkStar is intended to be an interactive
monument for the contemporary citizen and the contemporary city. Rather
than celebrating a significant historical landmark or a person, it is devoted
to the universe and the passage of time. The monument is best seen at
night, when it reflects lunar phases and the surface of the starry sky.
Responding to movement in its vicinity, it also generates a sound scape.




MONUMENT
TO TIME

Unlike ‘traditional’ monuments, DarkStar does not pay tribute to
historic figures (politicians, soldiers, religious leaders, etc.) Instead,
DarkStar is an organism that pays homage to the city, space and time. 




REFLECTING
MOON - PUBLIC CLOCK

The illuminated part of the monument rotates in a full
circle every minute. This means that DarkStar functions as a clock that only
counts minutes and so marks the ever faster passage of time.
The installation
is a huge dome that reflects moon phases. The size of the illuminated section
of the moon is transferred into the illuminated part of the Star which reflects
the movements of the people within the space.
