perpetual looking machine

a space exploded, exploited, to wear the robes of a different fiction the project permits its own reoccupation by new fictions the idea of inhabiting the project in a conventional sense with conventional figures is abandoned in favor of the suggestion of spaces, places, beings beyond the scope of the camera gravity and enclosure lose their relevance in such a place the possibility to shift between fictions is prioritized, becomes palpable how can a certain construction, held at a specific angle, lit by a refined sort of light, radiate a kind of energy, vibrate, and power its own image how do we extract the valence of a piece of architecture and distill it for consumption what excesses does the image provide can it power its own image – can it be a physical manifestation of a mythical narcissus the perpetual looking machine is architecture powering its own image and it’s an attempt at understanding how a fiction can proliferate other fictions, and genres proliferate other genres this project draws a kind of energy, not electricity, but something else, to power itself, to expose itself it extracts this energy from the site, and begets new fictions which have their place in the so-called “real world” this extracted something begets its own means of transmission and consumption and inhabits a place between reality and fiction
