This is how traditions were and still are born, the only difference being the context of reality and the system of values in a given time and space.
For a moment, we will put ourselves in the mindset of scientists in a future very far away. Those scientists find an archeological site that is for them a past, but from our current point of view, it is also a future, although a bit of a closer one. The workshop starts with this thesis and presents to the participants the 14 symbols that are found in the before mentioned archeological site. All the symbols are carved in acrylic glass, in pieces 4x4 cm.
The result of the workshop is a booklet and the model, be it physical or virtual, representing the findings of scientists/workshop participants. The workshop has been held four times so far as part of various artistic manifestations.
