The Ark

Product

This 21st-century ark is a vessel that waits for the flood to come. What would be the one thing you would save or preserve if the flood is coming?

The Ark – Volume 1 includes a barometer that can predict when a storm is coming. In the leather box, inside the glass dome, you can place a relic, secret or manifesto and then seal it and pass
it to for future generations. The Ark makes us think about what is really important to us. More crucially, the Ark is about the necessity to ask that question.

The Ark – Volume 2 ‘Paradigm Shift’ investigates our role in the universe and builds on the idea that we are just a small spectacle in the galaxy. A fictional scenario about time and space translated into an object. Not to predict the future but to reflect on possible alternatives such as afterlife, time travelling, etc.
