Imagine
a transparent world
were everything has become invisible.
Everything but us,
humans all 6,137,000,000 of us would be visible,
all in movement;
whether it be the beating of a heart or the full body motion of a bungee jump,
we are all visible.
Everything else is not.
Everything else includes your clothes, your bodily hair, your dog your cat,
the chair you are sitting in the computer you are looking at the walls the streets the cars and buses, airplanes,
mountains, rivers, oceans, water, earth, fire, air all invisible.
We humans are the only visual markers in an invisible world,
our world, earth, la terre mir, Gaia,and innomerable other names given to our home.
Six billion of us right now at this very instance are positioned in space,
and at this very instance each and every one of us is moving from an infine part of ourselves to our whole body in space,
Six billion of us moving together with the turning of our planet on itself and its long movement around the sun.
If we were as bright as stars we would form a vast constellation
which would endlessly change, evolve new stars born as others die,
stars in perpetual movement while others stand still.
Millions of stars clustered together in some places
in an other one surrounded by vast amounts of space.
Imagine that in this transparent world we could be stars.
Imagine that from any point in the world
you could look down below your feet and see throught 12,756 km of earth
an see a star, a million stars. If you continued to look around, you could actually see about
6,137,000,000 stars. 6,137,000,000 human stars. 6,137,000,000 human hearts beating.
Question: If you could hear all 6,137,000,000 human hearts beating at the same time,what would it sound like?
Now imagine yourself, one of these 6,137,000,000 hearts beating in your chest
,in this transparent world you are translucid and you can see your own heart beating inside you,
as well as every other human heart you cross paths with everyday, everywhere you go,
even in a crowd or packed together in the subway, every heart and human is visible.
Imagine a transparent world, of translucid we,
go outside,
look around,
...keep imagining..
Humanography 2.0 is a collaboration with Christian Jaquemin. Using Christian's program "Virtual Choreographer" we created a interactive population of 5000 individuals. Using inputs such as sound movement, or simply a mouse a user can change the % of individuals movements. For example 50% dancing, 25% walking and 25 standing. HUmanography is a work in progress and will in the end be an opensource program to virtually visualize large gruops of individuals in various movements. Coming Soon to a location near you.
