Rather than discarding relics we should animate them.
Relic has its own power and beauty.
Two factors, psychological linkage to human and its own physical presence, make itself invaluable.
For the first step, I am trying to derive the attachment between disaster relics and affected people in Japan by interview process.
Relic is the man-made concept. We could define this object as relic, since we have used it once before.
Therefore, each object is inevitably tied to personal memories.
If we could be involved within positive parts of memories, the usage of relic could be more valuable than using other new objects.
In this regards, I am in the process of conducting the interview.
In terms of second factor of relic, the physical presence,
I think that an appropriate way to extract the beauty of it is to using sound and shape.
Bernhard Leitner / Sound Cube
I find out that Bernhard’s sound cube is a good model to be a contrast to relic structure.
This regular hexahedron has speakers within stated intervals.
A flow of energy in this cube would completely proceed within rational prediction.
In contrast, relic model would be sounded in arbitrary way.
Red dots are indicating the spots of sounds.
This sound equipments will be implanted in each relic to present a sound wave that is generated by shape of it.
And, I also chose the method of duplication.
A concept of propagation might be the most contradicatable one to the conventional way of treating relic, discarding.
Resemble the natual process of inbreed, I am planning to multiply the same relics to make a monument for disaster affected area.
