TOMAS VAVRICEK . Carburetor
Czech born Tomas Vavricek presents Carburetor, an interactive audiovisual installation that invites the viewer into a sacred space made of lights, fabric and visual projections. It is an installation derived from ideas of technology and augmented reality, which builds upon his previous installations inspired by the book by famous Czech writer Karel Capek The Absolute At Large. The science fiction novel, written in 1922, depicts a machine called Carburetor that turns humans into gods. The first sentence opens the story on New Year's Day 1943 and describes the fundamental transformations in society as the result of a new mystical source of virtually free energy. Tomas Vavricek’s installation is an abstract association of what such a machine might look like.
