MID-WIFE LABORATORY
Mid-wife laboratory explores the concepts of technology going “too far” and how humans individually and en masse use technology but also have to reinvent themselves to live in the world they created.
Nowadays, in the industrialized countries, the electromagnetic fields are among one of the potential causes identified by several experiences and demonstrate unhealthful effects on the mechanisms of life and reproduction. Human have changed so much their environment that they have to reinvent themselves to live in this world. The creator is becoming the creature, leaving a part of himself.
The fertility laboratory is an alternative solution to live in this world, a possibility including an evolution of the human race with its own hybrid technologies. This dystopian scene is showing a warning society that if we continue to live how we do, this could be the consequence.
This is a mirror of our society and our life. This tends us to think about the intimacy nowadays. We are insomuch that there is a loss of identity, loss of personality and loss of land and human relation. In our case, we are in a horror entertainment, with an unhealthy mix of pleasures and an exposure of humanity. We have a play of -seen and unseen spaces, exposing a moment very close, very intimate and divine and proposing a disturbing experience. We anatomize the human flesh through the dissection of the creation of life.
All the building spaces follow the different states of the development through different atmospheres and different functions of the building: the entrance like a mystical nave, the embryo space like a turbid and ethereal space. Then, there are different ways to ride in the building through stairs and platforms. Some cocoon capsules give the possibility to people to be cut off and isolate and share an intimate moment with their developing child. The ending space of the building is the birth of the child, a renaissance of a moment very divine.
Mid-wife laboratory is regarded a beautiful dissection of life as a sort of negative utopia, a science dystopia between man and technology and a social dystopia between man and man.
