SYNOPSIS

Performance lecture by Marko Košnik for Documenta Urbana 2 in Kassel – public reading along live manipulation of video imagery in SoftVNS – Max environment.


A short resume on the topics of Laputa and The Engine from Gulliver's travels, Part 3: A voyage to Laputa, Balnibarbi, Luggnagg, Glubbdubdrib and Japan: Laputa is a flying island. It travels above the earth to supervise the countries of the empire. Citizens of Laputa can overview the world while no else can disturb their position. If somebody on the ground is rebelling against Laputa, will be bombarded by rocks that are easily thrown from the flying ground. The Engine is a device for improving speculative knowledge by practical and mechanical operations, as developed at Academy of Lagado. The project should make it possible even for the most ignorant person to write books in all the humanistic fields without the least assistance from a genius or laborious studies. Out of permutations of all the words of the language it will be possible to give the world a complete body of all Arts and Sciences. (Source: Marko Košnik)
