"...Circular space of the Gallery of Extended Media is filled by the blue light whose source is the neon sign with words written in French. It seems that the only source of light is the neon sign of elegant lettering that fakes handwriting, common as much as everyday, quotidian, is common. The blue light that fills and articulates the space by giving it a soft, tactile quality encompasses the whole space. The space virtually fills in the architectural shell transforming it so that it is no longer the articulation of walls that shapes the indifferent space, but the space itself expands the walls rising towards a dome. Energy of the blue space fills in the architecture. Blue is the color of orgon energy, primordial cosmic energy whose general presence might be proved visually, thermally, electroscopically and by a Geiger-Miller counter. In a living organism it is bio-energy, life energy discovered between 1936 and 1940 by Wilhelm Reich, as we learn in the glossary at the end of the only edition of “The Function of Orgasm” that circulates over here. Space equals energy. It makes the space intimate, transforming it into an aquarium, in a protected atmospheric dome, a station for intimate experiments. The projection on the screen that hangs in the aerial inter-space is also blue - the sea, the sky, and a lonely female figure walking nervously, high on the diving board..." * |
