A place that is not a place, a virtual space. Actual - physical space has become nearly unnecessary. Yet the
idea of space is important. Business and all facets of life served instantly. A pictorial and infinite space /
expandable and retractable. Life compartmentalized. A metaphor for Western culture itself - A visual upper half
of the Earth. A hemisphere of the global culture.
Welcome to the TECHNOSPHERE.
STANDING
FIRST VERSION OF THE DOME SPACE AS A REAL
THREE-DIMENSIONAL PLACE A VIEWER COULD
PHYSICALLY VISIT AND WALK INTO. THE INTERIOR
COMPRISED THE THREE NECESSITIES OF MODERN
LIFE: THE CHAIR, TV(S), AND A WORKING
REFRIGERATOR.
THE VIEWER COULD SIT AND SEE FIVE VIDEOS
PLAYING SIMULTANEOUSLY CREATING A VAST
BARRAGE OF IMAGERY. SANDBERG MAKES VIDEOS
FROM FOUND FOOTAGE, VIDEO CAPTURED FROM
TELEVISED BROADCASTS, AND FOOTAGE HE
SHOOTS HIMSELF.
THE MAIN VIDEO, MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS
SHOW, TITLED "ORBITAL WORLD" DEPICTS
REPEATING FOOTAGE OF THE EARTH'S ORBIT OF
THE SUN. RELATING THE MOVEMENT OF EARTH
TO OUR OWN AROUND OUR HOME AND OUR
TYPICAL PERSONAL ORBITS TO AND FROM WORK
PERHAPS. THIS SPACE IS OUR OWN NUCLEUS. A
MICROCOSM WE INHABIT.
