homework project by REGENERATIVE CIRCLE

HOW TO EXTRACT MEMORIES FROM ESSENTIAL OILS
By Asako Shiroki, Artist in Berlin, Germany

＝＝
About homework project:

Look at your surroundings, and use your imagination and your knowledge: do we always need new things?
How can we use the things that are already around us in a different way? How can we give them a new purpose?
In other words, how can we see them as resources? Let's think together about regeneration.

Under the title PLAY MUSEUM, Schmuck2 continues its previous project focus on architecture and jewellery and develops a utopia for a contemporary "(jewellery) museum". It is less about planning a new building, but rather about drawing a museum vision against the backdrop of a "Schmuck2 collection" digitally processed on thematic complexes such as hyperreality, representation or valence (...). In the classical exhibition format, artists and an architect install architecture as jewelry in public space. The virtual immaterial thus spans the material and, with its interactive possibilities, involves the visitor on various levels in the shaping of a museum utopia.

Asako Shiroki made a guest appearance on the Podcast program "Kokuyo Center for Field Research"
