The Elements of XSITE that are fundamental to the experience of our Cosmology are:
ILLUMINATION refers to the fire we hope to ignite within people who visit XSITE. It is about an awakening to the hidden light of the Universe through ephemeral visual representation. The light is actual virtual - an Augmented Reality that is unlocked by your mobile device.
SITE refers to the physical materials that make up the structure. The modular steel apparatus consists of two modified hi-cube 20’ ISO shipping containers and the swivel mechanism allowing its rotation.
SOUND refers to the frequencies emitted at XSITE. We have found research showing the frequencies measured from planets as they rotate the Earth. Measured in Hertz, we have composed soundtracks to planetary movement based on these frequencies, filling the air with a vibration synchronized with each of the planets being observed.
ROTATION refers to kinetic capacity of XSITE, as its architecture is an investigation of the mechanics of orbiting. The swivel, designed by Joachim Wessmark, allows an effortless rotation of 7,600 lbs of steel which can be operated by a young child.
