The installation you see here is made specifically for this space.
00:11
Being able to put this installation in the middle of the building and seeing it from
00:17
up there and from all different angles, it's a very forgiving space to show installation
00:23
art in.
00:24
Also the contrast between the old and the building, and this which is a very high tech
00:29
installation, I think that contrast is also very interesting.
00:36
I want people to see that you can use technology creatively, maybe in ways that it wasn't intended
00:41
to.
00:42
But I think one thing that is relevant for this building is how technology can be used
00:47
to bring people together instead of just being this thing that maybe pulls us further apart.
00:53
People just looking at their screens all the time.
00:58
Experiencing the building itself, going through all these amazing spaces, you know, cafes
01:02
and restaurants, and also this collective space where you can sit and work, and knowing
01:09
that this used to be stables where the horses and elephants were, it adds some real interesting
01:19
background to being in this space.
01:24
It's been a really nice synergy, working with the people and the knowledge in this space
01:28
to create something uniquely for this building.
01:33
It's a very cool setting to meet a lot of people who have that interest and deep knowledge
01:37
about technology.
