gavcloud - Building The Entopia, 2024, color video with sound, 90 seconds
Entopia is a concept coined by the Greek architect and urban planner Constantinos Apostolou Doxiadis. As he states, "What human beings need is not utopia ('no place') but entopia ('in place') a real city which they can build, a place which satisfies the dreamer and is acceptable to the scientist, a place where the projections of the artist and the builder merge." Building The Entopia derives both its rhythmic and melodic information from datasets compiled by the World Bank representing basic research, applied research, and experimental research spending globally from 1996-2001. The pitch information is scaled to an Erv Wilson microtonal tuning. The video features original footage filmed on-location in São Paulo Brazil, Tokyo Japan, and the Kumbh Mela India.
