Area 51

THE FUTURE CONTINUES TO BE BUILT — through observation — in the SMALL “SPACES OF WILL” that arise by chance, where everything that was previously impossible is now possible.

Galántai House

THE FUTURE CONTINUES TO BE BUILT in the space of “non-will,” where nothing that could be imagined is possible, yet IT CONTINUES TO BE BUILT—an unwanted FUTURE.

An interactive, immersive exhibition event that takes advantage of the natural features of this unique environment, spread across fourteen spaces, including thirteen audio spaces and nine video spaces.

A selection from several previous Artpool projects (Boglár Chapel Studio, EU–Hungarian Flags, Hands, Footwear, art “in the fourth dimension,” etc.), as well as audio and video documents, focusing on connections and contemporary contexts.
Virtual content and the physical environment enable visitors to interact naturally with mixed reality.

Area 51 and the Galántai House in every little corner (front garden, back garden, electricity meter, cesspool, gazebo, loo, wood shed, wood shed attic, pigsty, kitchen, room, video barn, covered courtyard, front cellar, back cellar, lower attic, upper attic, K53, monitor, portal, sculpture window, wood shed, barn) reveals the artistic complexity of the messages.

In accordance with holonic realism, the series of exhibition events consists of the interconnected Holonic Path / the path of disintegration (01-00) and the Holarchy Space / the space of self-transcendence (00-01).
From here, the process of creating ever-larger wholes and incorporating the previous ones can continue conceptually: holarchization.

Artpool’s “holonic” approach adapts Arthur Koestler’s theory, according to which every entity in society is a conscious and productive actor that fits into a natural hierarchy (holon). Not only the individual but also society itself appears as a subordinate within this natural hierarchy.
