Team: David Domínguez / Hugo Hernández / Carles Tuca Location: eme3 Festival, CCCB Museum, Barcelona, Spain Butget: ± 250 eur «Xarxa Delicada» -Delicate networkpassed the selection to be exhibited at the CCCB museum in the eme3 architecture festival. Collapse was 2009 festival’s subject. The installation plays with shape to express collapse. It consists of a closed and stable structure of lineal elements made with wooden sticks that represents reality. The simplest structure that obeys these conditions was an element formed by four segments that crossed one with the other, at least, three times.We represented two types of nets. The first
one is more extensive and flat. Shapes share their elements to generate the net. This kind of net attempts to represent how oriental societies and philosophies work. Oriental society and its dynamics have much more collective spirit than others. The second net is compact and cloud-shaped. It has a more hierarchal structure where elements work one after the other, but not together. They don’t share the content but the container. This kind of net is like occidental societies, they tend to create more egoist, selfish and solitary dynamics.
