Did you know that the solar system is composed of 3 sorts of planets? Rock-gas-ice are the structures that define the characters of the particular planets, their location in the system and their behaviour. Exactly as human temperaments, which define our way of being and place within the society. Analogies are numerous and meaningful, but… why do you think planets go rock-gas-ice when moving away from the sun? And what the sun actually is?
You can scan the codes of these 3 main artworks below to bring them into life:
Below you will find a compilation of the works of our students – each student has created a different, non-existing planet and each planet has a statement concerning our current or future condition of life on our planet of Earth and our Universum. Press play:
