"Station 1" / sculpture
Creating the physical plant on earth and in the virtual network.
Station-1 - established and functioning point FGE, which sense in the statement originality of it existence in alive collision with environmental validity. Originality, i.e. preservation of the identity irrespective of changes and influences from outside of, thus is freedom and an openness to dialogue on all six sides - and it is a basis of structure of station, quintessence of its value. Its lonely mirror cube is alien to an environment because it is created under laws own, alien to it purposefulness. It is not adhered to a symbolical line of the textual contents. But it is not isolated, is not alternative and not aggressive in relation to environmental. It stays in a status of a power full exchange with a natural and socio-cultural landscape, reflecting infinite chaotic stream of the vital and spontaneous phenomena, being exposed to a pressure of various semantic interpretations. Existence of Station-1 up to roughly physical. As a matter of fact, it is extremely material, deprived symbolical - aesthetic taint the object occupying the place in direct non-reflected stream of life. In these case new sample opportunities for the communicative process which is not limited to frameworks of art-representative. Communication works of art (an artefact or a museum piece) in a case with author's-spectator interpretations from the other side is limited with a field semiotic opportunities. But Life does not hold even in the most total text - it, faster, a problem ontologic. However, any work of art is connected with, all completeness of life by many and rather complex interrelations. More truly, any work of art is investigation of understanding by the author - creator of the phenomenon of life, selected it of interpretation. The circle of contradictions, exacerbate changes of sign systems, instability of valuable specifications becomes isolated. Object similar The Stations-1 as much as necessary which belong to a number of stuff-material phenomena (the fact, instead of an artefact) is possible to study on semiotic level, finding set of perusals or just to touch it or have a look or even to break and then enter to a straight line communicative process which is adequate to the status.
