Artist's explanations of the Light Sculpture titled:
Ferrari 250GTO THREE
What is an automobile? means of transportation. sports equipment. exoskeleton. ...
What they all have in common is human locomotion. The conversion of energy into different forms. With the shift towards a fossil-free, electrified economic world, energy conversion in automobiles is undergoing major changes. How does energy conversion work in an automobile? What is acceleration? What is braking? Which processes are at work when driving a car and which processes does a car set in motion in us? Banality? Or perhaps to reflect more intensely on the car with its many facets in a very exciting way!
The car, for most people more than just a means of transportation. A youthful dream and just as much a lifelong dream of adults. The joy of a small tin car in childhood at Christmas. Oh, what a nice memory! Carefree and easy. Status, sex symbol and decoration. The car can do that, too. Sports equipment on the race track. That can also be a car.
Environmental sin due to too much individual traffic and polluting exhaust gases. The culture of ownership is changing, just like our perception of the environment is subject to constant change. Human evolution is still in full swing. Rather, in a constant, almost insane, increasing acceleration.
Fun mobile.
The electrical energy converter
The conversion of stored electrical energy. Sustainably generated energy. Stored solar, wind or water energy. The conversion into kinetic energy. The acceleration process comes first. Once a preferred speed is reached, energy must be expended to maintain it against the external drags of wind and friction. With any acceleration of the car, there is also an acceleration of the mass around it. The air.
When braking, part of the kinetic energy of an electric car is recovered. The recuperation. If the mechanical brakes intervene in the deceleration process, the kinetic energy is converted into heat, which is released to the environment via the brake discs. The conversion of kinetic energy into thermal energy or the conversion of kinetic energy into electrical energy.
Many energy and material transformations are necessary before you can even drive a car. Think, for example, of the energy used to manufacture the automobile. Likewise, the automobile represents one of the most complicated and costly technical constructions of man.
The Time changer
The automobile stands for modern generations of mankind, for technical progress. Will this continue to be the case? I think we are in a time of change that will be characterized by sustainable energy. Free from the consumption of fossil raw materials and the associated environmental damage. Likewise, the automobile will probably also catapult artificial intelligence (AI) to a new level.
As a result, you can learn a great deal about physics and our culture from our cars. Compressed and reduced. Others might say abstract. I say simplified.
We have entered the age of sustainable electric energy and artificial intelligence. The quantum computer is also finding its way into our technical world and will probably change the world faster than any technology before it. You can see all this in an automobile.
Or? Or quite simply the beautiful, fascinating toy that it still is.
The "ArtKey", by Kilian Saueressig to:
Ferrari 250GTO THREE
In the artwork, the yellow lines (color shots) symbolize the kinetic energy. The blue lines represent braking energy. The red lines the aerodynamics. And the spirals in the wheels are symbolic of the driving moment, quite analogous to the spiral spring drive in a wind-up tin toy. The microscopic, concave and convex shaped wave structure symbolizes the form/shape of the energy. The conversion of light into mass and vice versa. Energy storage: conversion of light to mass (The battery will be a fraction of a gram heavier.). Energy delivery: Conversion of mass to energy (The battery is lightened by a fraction of a gram.). Etc. ...
The interactive stimulation of the different image levels by means of LED background lighting stands for the different energy states and transformations.
The macroscopic formation of the work of art symbolizes the dynamism. The car wants to get out of the picture and into the room. It demands communication. It wants to leave its frame. Unlit, the formed macrostructure is intended to evoke the association of a formed tin toy.
The ArtKey summarizes the stylistic elements of the work, condensed to the essentials.
INV (inversion):
In the wall sculpture is the inversion or transformation. The change from fossil-fuelled automobile locomotion to electric locomotion with energy from sustainable sources. The change from CO²-driven motorsport in the form of customer motorsport to a sustainable automotive customer sport experience. The classic economic backstop.
AS (association):
Positive, forward energy. Positive and negative acceleration. Dynamic, flying paintballs, coil spring propulsion, child/adult sculpted tin toys. Switched off, the children's toy?! Switched on, the man's toy?!
Positive, physical, dynamic. Positive, sustainable, ecological.
ENT (alienation):
Reduction of the motorsport experience to a few stripes of paint, the PaintBullets.
VER (simplification):
Simplified representation of conversion processes. Forward energy, braking energy. Ecological transition towards an electrified world with energy from sustainable resources.
PiP (picture in picture):
Several image levels are superimposed to form a large number of images. From dormant to dynamic.
UEB (exaggeration):
PaintBullets as a symbol for pure energy. Fascinating energy in motorsport.
ILU (illusion):
The illusion of perceptible movement and energy in a (resting?) work of art.
INT (interaction):
Viewing of the image by viewer. Interactive modification of the image by the viewer using internal and external light sources. interaction with the environment. haptics of touch.
High gloss structures:
Mirror interaction with its environment. Haptic structure invites you to touch it.
