C

C is a long-range project which will span several years into the future. Its aim is to establish a virtual platform that will allow artists, teachers and scientists to work together and develop projects which address and debate different issues on the subject of inhabiting the city. The aim of the project is to provide a new tool for investigating and understanding the relationship we have with the future of living together. The contemporary art, educational and research projects will be accessed as installations through VR or AR technology, on-site or from a desktop terminal, and will build up towards a virtual version of the city of Cluj-Napoca, providing a space for the civil society actors, artists and the public to debate acute issues such as global warming, gentrification, access to resources, segregation, urban planning and not least, living with our non-human cohabitors.

In the shade is a project in development for the C platform, built in a RPG engine, and it will be approached as an interactvie quest based on climate change scenarios. It departs from a local study conducted in the forests of the Carpathian Mountains, regarding the impact of global warming on different species of lychens, and from the moral question of reproducing in the wake of a violent 21st century.

The Suns of Our Fears is a project in development for the C platform which will come together as an augmented reality interactive installation placed in the main square of the city of Cluj-Napoca. It will allow people to feed their anxieties to the giant spheres making them grow larger and larger over the course of one year, concluded with one giant closing catharctic climax, as the spheres will burst, making way for a fresh start.
