Venice, Italy
"Pages" was developed parallel to "Excess
is More", both are experiments with hyperbolic geometry. Except silk
screened browser windows - inviting visitors to write or draw - the panels are
the same; set-up and meaning are different.
A hyperbolic structure has no defined inside or outside,
it has many openings and exits, is the spatial equivalent of the Internet. When
we look for information today, we no longer have limited sources and a linear
path to get there, often we have to trust our intuition where to go next.
Reading a hypertext eventually leads us to something we originally were not
looking for but it ultimately gives us a broader understanding. Like
brainstorming, also learning is often based on free association with a loose
mind; we consider more aspects, connect dots and build our own worlds. The time
of the secluded specialists is over, to master the 21st century we have to look
at the whole picture, consider everything, think holistic, team-up and
exchange.
The Internet Pavilion leaves no physical trace unlike
most pavilions at the Venice Biennale, which is very much in the spirit of the
end of the essay "Pavilions of the Future" written by Beatrize
Colomina: "Etymologically, "pavilion" comes from
"papillon", the French for butterfly; the sides of an open
lightweight nomadic tent were associated with the wings of a butterfly. The
pavilion, classically a royal tent in a park, arrives, fluttering in from an
unknown place, a pure image in flight hovering for a moment, touching down and
standing there with its image fully exposed, before fluttering away again, leaving
everything changed in its wake"
