The sculpture Videoorrery is inspired by the historical clockwork tool. Modern technique is hidden in an antique looking sculpture.
The concept for the Videoorrery is in progress. The Videoplanets orchestrate the idea of an interplanetary society, in holographic time, without linearity, that manifests its own time.
The Videoplanets suggest innovations of the future, establishing a new kind of modernized brain as a means to protect a sense of unity between the natural planet and the human population.
The projected Videos in the Videoorrery are based on abstract, reduced images; the choreography interacts with the rotation of the spheres and satellites.
The interaction of the five Videoplanets is modeled after a musical orchestra composition. There are moments in the composition where the planets are part of the orchestra, while each planet displays its individual imagery most of the time.
The video images belonging to each Videoorrery are adjusted to the respective context.

  An Orrery is a mechanical device that illuminates the relative positions and motions of the planets and moons in the solar system in a heliocentric model. They are typically driven by a large clockwork
mechanism with a globe representing the sun at the centre, and with planet at the end of each of the arm.
  Designed by two emerging Japanese fashion designers, Norico Matsuzaki & Nozomi Yasuda , the chess costumes are abstract, geometric forms inspired by the luminary of Bauhaus theatre, Oskar Schlemmer. Evoking architectural forms and geometric minimalism, these designs translate the human body into simplified forms.
More details coming soon.
