Che siamo reticoli intricati come le opere di Tresoldi.

Ho cominciato a disegnare dei reticoli che nella mia testa formeranno una mappa. Quando ieri per la prima volta ho fatto vedere a qualcuno questo disegno no. zero, mi hanno chiesto di quale città si trattasse. Teoricamente questo reticolo può proseguire per tutta la vita, la sua incubazione dico. Ed essere anche sovrapposta con altri schemi, disegni e utopie. Ho risposto, Nessuna città reale, questa città non esiste. Mi piace pensarla lunga e stretta, una striscia composta di tanti fogli A4-A5 e via così senza alcun criterio. Questa mappa è un atto di autoliberazione. Ci cresceranno dentro cose, alberi, cabine elettriche, torri di avvistamento, giardini romantici, planimetrie di edifici e monumenti famosi e anche architetture ordinarie e animali e uomini che non ragionano in un modo eccessivamente semplicistico e ovviamente il bar vivaio e il suo programma di spettacoli tutti dedicati al Novecento. Qualcun altro ieri ha riso e guardando il mio primo reticolo ha esclamato, È una mappa catastale come se nelle mappe catastali ci fosse un qualche disvalore. Non ho detto nulla, non me ne importa niente in realtà.

About the Designers: Numen/For Use is a Croatian-Austrian design collective working in the fields of scenography, industrial and spatial design and conceptual art. The group first formed in 1998 as a collaborative effort of industrial designers Sven Jonke, Christoph Katzler and Nikola Radeljković under the banner For Use. In 1999 they establish Numen as a collective identity covering all projects actualised outside the sphere of industrial design.

Proposal: TAPE The tape concept developed further towards a more sculptural architectonic form. It was practically “found” through the act of chaotic wrapping, where a one-dimensional line (“tape”), slowly turned into two-dimensional plane, which then finally curved into volume.

The installation was envisaged as a site specific, parasitical structure invading an arbitrary location. The straight lines of main trajectories are stretched across a given area and these tendons are then wrapped diagonally with layers of elastic tape, giving shape to a complex organic form through a process similar to the emergence of such structures in nature. With the further layering of the tape, the figure becomes more and more corporeal as it picks up on the slow increase of the curvature. The interior of the structure is supple, elastic, and pliable while the form itself is statically perfect, as it ideally follows the trajectories of forces, being literally defined by them. In the moment when the audience enters the installation, what started off as a sculpture seamlessly morphs into architecture.

" On display near the waterfront of Yokohama, Japan is an inflatable box-like space with bouncy black webs fitted tightly inside. This large scale interactive sculpture called Net Blow Up is the work of Croatian–Austrian design collective Numen/For Use, whose oeuvre comprises grand spatial designs.

The blown-up skin creates an immersive interior cavity filled with a complex network of interwoven mesh material. Visitors inside become enclosed in the balloon-like platform, surrounded by net and bubble and able to bounce and rebound off the ceiling, floor, and walls. The soft entity warps and transfigures with every movement inside, making it a constantly evolving, kinetic area. At night, the illuminated interior almost becomes a projection screen, casting shadows of the shifting environment outside. "
