CRYSTAL CITY ECO-ART - Ready, Set, Grow: Being There
Being There...
( aka - flower children's gift )
note : 70.8% water // 29.2 land : liquid & solid of spaceship earth keywords :
boxing // cutting // folding
feeding // seeding // deeding
planning // plan_ting // planeting
Being There...is an experience project.
The three step process for the project are quite simple, but the lesson and impact live on beyond the perimeter of the given site.
Let's explain the steps, and hopefully the lesson will reveal itself to all involved.
Traditionally, a race begins, Ready, Set, Go!...but, this project is not a race, therefore the terms have been altered slightly.
1.) READY up...
2.) SET up...
3.) GROW up...
The above three steps are divided into two categories.
PRE - site / / POST - site .
PRE - site :
1.) READY up...
2.) SET up...
Both steps 1 & 2 are PRE-fabricated off site in order to establish the limits for the project.
In step 1 - READY up, a total of 2 0 0 9 off the shelf 4"x4"x10" corrugated cardboard boxes are assembled, but with a bit a HIGH-tech is introduced into a LOW-tech folding process. A series of holes, handles & hints are lazer cut into the boxes, as a subtractive act, only to allow openings to reveal internal potentials.
In step 2 - SET up, the boxes are filled or fed with two things : soil & seeds. The above mentioned lazer cuts establish the levels for soil and then two flower seed are inserted.
After all the PRE-site steps are completed by a team of design scientists, the 2 0 0 9 boxes travel to the Crystal City water park for placement.
by the way, 1 4 2 2 blue boxes // 5 8 7 green boxes = 2 0 0 9 total
POST - site :
3.) GROW up...
This is the easy part, because it is a natural process. The micro-elements of 2 0 0 9 boxes are stacked by design scientists into the two grouping of blue & green forming a pyramid for success. The success is not the division of the grouping which happens on the site, but the after grow. The children of all ages are welcome to select one box from each grouping as a gift. This step is called POST-site for a very specific reason...what happens when the children return home? Upon returning home the pet boxes can be planted as a "deep memory" of the events in the Crystal City water park. Both the boxes & memory combine into the after grow as all witness the symbol of life. This symbol act as the lesson which can not grow old, but will return again and again as spaceship earth's seasonal cycles continue to spin.
last, but not least, H O P E for rain!
