 There
isn’t any living form throughout the universe comparable to this on
Earth.
Life is made of elements and conditions that are intermingled by a
natural damageable link. Man’s activities are going to break this fragile link
and this way they are going to jeopardize their own future. Men have to call
their society system into question to plan themselves in an ecological
sustainable future. This precarious situation is opening the door onto a new
era: ecocivilization.
How can a designer imagine life scenarios corresponding
to this new demand ?
For Charley Ignace, the
answer needs to focus on at least three vital elements in human society: matter,
energy and information. Among them, the second seemed to him most important.
Today energy seems to be a free resource: a mere gesture is enough to have it
flow. Man must therefore become aware of its true cost.
For Charley, this
realization must happen in a symbolic way, in a scene showing the production of
energy and the individual responsibility in its creation.
He has therefore
imagined a new sport, whose goal would be the creation of electricity. Field,
rules, gyroscopic ball, unloading gloves, target : nothing has escaped his
approach.
