King Klon

King Klon is a communication system clepsydra and an explosive marine holographic projection game where a set of myths and deficient evidence incite a cloning outspread hallucination.

A project structured by two entities:
1. ‹A self-cloning game system controlling engine› and, 2. ‹A real-time larger-than-life holographic projection and a changing locus›.

Premiere, Summer 2027

The Halo of Cloned Survivorship
A large set of incomplete early data, records and speculation from what Cambria marine life looked and behaved like: records, logs, illustrations, photographs, hand-made models, fabules, children drawings, etc., is used as the basis for a software to guide itself on a digital cloning evolutionary process reconstruction guess. The output along with other technical inputs such as rendering aggregated misalignments, entanglements, data reshuffle, etc. will be used by a game engine to produce an equivalent 3D arresting simulacra, and as these processes occur, they will manifest in changes in the levels of sublimation, condensation, and deposition within an exhibition hall: A system as mad as the evolutionary mystery needs it to be, or as mad as it needs to become, and/or as mad as it can be.

Time In The Middle Of Time:
The Guest Bodies and The Host Body

For the duration of the exhibition of King Klon and its subsequent installation iterations, a holographic projection appearing as a type of huge large cube sits in an empty darkened hall, its contents resembling a deep underwater primordial scene in which an archaic marine magic show starts to form, emerge and swim across all while the environment becomes sensitive and engulfing.
