Utopikator an installation by Nikos Arvanitis and Jens Maier-Rothe Schiller Festival, Weimar, Germany, 2005  The "Utopikator" generates nothing more than soap bubbles. Against the background of casting doubts on ideals as Friedrich Schiller describes in his poem “Ideals”: "... The offspring of my dream hath perished / My faith in being passed away / The godlike hopes that once I cherish / Are now reality's sad prey." the artists create a sensual installation. The Utopia site transforms to machine. Utopikator sends a soap bubble over its trajectory to a trip through space. Grumbling, the complex process of generating the bubble sets the whole apparatus in vibration. During its short lifetime, the soap bubble defines an Utopian space within space, till natural influences and processes, determine its fragile existence. Why does one actually wishes that the bubble wonīt burst this time ?      Back To Top All content copyright 2005-2009 nikosarvanitis.com - all rights reserved |
