The world is turning like our thoughts – and we are the audience, watching their change
We were building a miniature world with an engine that would make the world turning around its own axis. As soon as it was finished and we saw the rotating world we constructed an image in our minds, sitting around a table with the world on it. Also we wanted to use some recordings of foreign languages as the sounds, which can be triggered in the motion tracking system.
We are using the motion tracking area as synonym of the Tower of Babel where  a united humanity speak a single language, build one alliance and create a place of perfection and then be separated by God who confused their languages. The language is the main symbol for us on one hand as a border between peoples and on the other hand as a rich element of each culture.
Our Project is a filmed performance in which the participants are able to activate the motion tracking system with their hands and other elements like paper, plastic, markers, strings etc.
In the performance we are playing with our imagination and emotions affected by the different languages we are hearing. We are creating a collage of one cultural code.
