About: This website presents a 36 years on-going project started by a person at 24 years of age in 2004, and to be conluded in 2040 at 60. The production is based on a total depiction of time and space adopting 18 different methods (see -A-R-C-H-I-V-E-) to continuously record different aspects of reality such as the photographing of all objects used by the dominant hand in order to visualize this person's everyday activities. The website is in progress and is part of 6 different elaborations of the resulting Archive (see upper left).

    • Concept: Given an inborn willing to accomplish something noble, what is our mission in a society that is technically vegetating? Are we to become like Fyodor Dostoevsky’s fictional character Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov? Are we to stand the frustration of the social mediation and suddenly explode our rage out of the indifference and the emancipation that the dictating main-stream is acting upon us? Is there maybe a different path to undisguise a possible mission to which we could become loyal to and ultimately manifest and cultivate all of our natural values? The answer is that probably there is an alternative and this alternative lays within us, a within us that has long been stampeded by the scientific arrogance.Only the very discovery made within us can provide the foundation for a larger, quasi-infinite discovery to proliferate along all our existence. This is the very seed, which was once addressed by our philosophical culture or imparted from our religion. Now that the human aura is literally turned off by the ever polluting light of the artificial, we are more then ever in need for self education (from the Latin ex ducis to take out). This does not imply any isolated transcendentalism, maybe only necessary in an early stage. Once we manage to exit the Platonic cave and glimpse at the world from outside we shall go back to it and play its rules and roles, as an actor passionately plays its part but is, at the same time, rationally aware of it. In following our instinct to find and frame our existential mission, our natural duty, if there is any, much ardor is require, yet once this is found we shall not apply any violence to execute it. In this the very individual can mimic the technology that controls his social group, he can become the very sensor, the very automation that can dictate his own life.

    Details: 432 is the total number of months and 7776 (432x18) the samples that this project aims to collect until 2040. While the first 6 methods look at the inner-self and his surrounding, the second six look at the other-self, while the last 6 looks at the utter-self. While the first part of each trilogy looks at reality, the second looks at its fermentation while the third looks at its emotionalization. click on the top-left links to start viewing the corresponding geographical samples made publicly available. The resulting archive is to be displayed in a 43,2X14,4X14,4 meters building where each of the collections will constitute an architectural element.
