As part of the META.morphoses program, the FpD 01: Earth is one of eight projects developed to virtually redesign the gardens of the -MEIAC- as a hotspot and cultural attractor. In a time when the culture of industrial and post-industrial societies shifts towards the truly innovative phenomenon of critical and creative interfaces in the techno-sphere and the info-sphere, the pavilion seeks to provide a comfortable yet active informatic space for museum visitors. The pavilion was created as an educational and entertainment game board for young children, an audiovisual box made of recycled plastic pallets and other interactive components integrated into the garden, constantly changing because of its users. An invitation to perceive our environment in a different way through architecture, space, time, motion, matter, energy, light, color, sound and image.
