Spotlight : Bloni – As we quiver, ache, stare into the zeitgeist of our current and future living, we deconstruct and reconstruct emotions to experience it. This emotiveness is the instinctive frontline of experience, the first spark of a realisation, of truths have arrived, or stories that will reveal in the future. As the world opens up complex interfaces, and altered realities, new emotions come to comprehend and explain this world, and sometimes to even sculpt it. We shift between past resources and future predictions to expand what we feel – the apparent to the carefully concealed.
The new reconstructed emotions become one of the first cultural artefacts to help discern, analyze, and pictorialize the multiple dimensions of existences—the terrestrial, outer space, underground, spiritual, digital, historical and future. They provide the construction cues and stimuli to build our lives, our worlds, our relationships. Sometimes they inhabit the beings and the objects that circulate within these existences to enable cognition, understanding and possible negotiation with these very existences. And sometimes, they become the a priori in creating these existences. Preamble – as a prequel, the beginning of things to come
