Messaging

We’ve updated the messaging for the project:

The Archeon 

The Archeon is an interactive light and sound sculpture that asks participants to consider how social isolation has impacted their lives and challenges them to invest in “Rebuilding True Connections.”

The Archeon is an alien, bio-metallic spore; an antenna and signaling device planted here to find sentient, cooperative life.  Upon detection, it opens and broadcasts a message of hope to distant celestial objects.

True Connections require a shared experience, empathy and vulnerability.  The sculpture brings two participants together and engages them in a tonal call-and-response, guiding them towards singing notes in harmony.  They face each other, hear each others’ voices and vocalize notes together.  The sculpture responds by opening its heart, targeting a celestial object, and beaming a message of hope.

We all suffered in the pandemic.  Isolation became the new normal.  We need to break out of it.  We need to reconnect!

This project calls attention to our isolation, builds self-awareness, empathy and challenges us to reconnect.  The project includes on-site messaging about “Isolation and Reconnection,” the project’s origin story of personal transformation, and asks participants to remember their experience and to bring it home.

Inspiring Change Beyond the Event

We will deliver an emotional experience on-site that will challenge participants to become self-aware, empathetic, and to regain what they’ve lost in in their communities.  We will send them home with ideas!
