Close Encounters
Close Encounters
Indeed, the work Close Encounters essentially consists of the audience itself, and the energy the audience members generate together.
The public is invited to come to the Evoluon in Eindhoven to try, through a collective mental effort of will, to detach this flying-saucer-shaped structure from its base and send it flying away.
This performative event at the Evoluon took place on of September 14, 2008, the last day of Be(com)ing Dutch. With the help of different communities and generations the artists explored the potential of collective mental willpower.
Is such a collective able to create, by 'tour de force', the lifting the building from its base?
