premise
a crystal temple as a space between signals - an immersive artwork exploring perception - interconnection and symbolic space
this work is grounded in a principle of fundamental equality in lived experience – where awareness – aliveness – and change are not treated as hierarchical states
these are shared conditions rather than levels to be achieved or ranked
perception is understood as continuously changing within a condition we all share equally – there are no fixed stages to attain – only an ongoing movement of awareness through lived experience
there may be a continual exchange of nuances of awareness between us – within the ongoing evolution of life on earth
each temple chamber may give rise to a shift in perception or state
meaning may appear when it is no longer being pursued
there is no single story here
only resonance
what is called navigation may be the echo of awareness moving through space
the work draws from interactive installation – generative systems – digital minimalism and experiential web design
not as stylistic influences – but as methods for constructing environments in which meaning may emerge through interaction rather than narration
nothing here asks to be believed
meaning is not presented
it may emerge through attention – movement and perception
the fragments
a crystal temple is made from fragments
films · sounds · words · images · signals
none of them contain an answer
a fragment does not have to carry meaning
it can simply make a space in which meaning might arise
so we are releasing 14 films and 12 soundtracks from the temple
they are free to download - copy - alter - project - remix - screen - exhibit - embed or give away
once released they no longer belong to the temple
take one
use it
change it
place it somewhere we could never have imagined
or do nothing with it
the temple does not need to know
*a crystal temple does not use visitor analytics - we use one google ads conversion measurement in a chamber outside the temple - we do not create visitor accounts or sell personal data
