理念和構思, by João Ó & Manuel CS
Art Installation
The title of the work hails from a linguistic contradiction which stands at the root of the leit motif for this installation.
This contradiction questions the issue of the territory as a field of internal and external tension, which is to say, its interactive urban relationship both with itself and its surroundings.
The territorial field that we analyzed within the scope of an artistic research branched out into three urban cases explicitly evident in the city of Macau. The criteria of choice were based on the impact upon the collective imaginary that these bring about:
-the orderly grid of the new external harbor reclamation area, which albeit recent has a deep impact on the life of the city;
-the Macau RESERVOIR, which reflects an approach to the tension between the city and the water, its permanent perimeter;
-the Nobre de Carvalho bridge, which stands as the first physically built example embodying the need of transgression of the territory that justifies the tension between the islands.
In a literal departure from the plans of these three case studies, and using work tools such as Autocad and Viz in exploring tri-dimensionality, transparency, and layering together with concepts geared towards urban design such as planning, geometrical drawing and territory planning, we decided to explore the idea of the city in a more poetical and abstract approach bearing in mind the existing reality, i.e., a duality between dream and reality, travel and wait, day and night, line and space, in their complementary natures.
該作品的標題來自一個語言的矛盾。
這個矛盾問題，這一問題的領土作為領域的內部和外部的緊張局勢，也就是說，它的互動關係，都與城市本身及其周圍地區。
領土進行，所以我們分析的範圍內，藝術的研究，後來他進軍三個城市的案件明確體現在澳門的城市。選擇的標準是根據有何影響，這些集體想像實現：
-有序的網格新的外部港填海區，這雖然最近有深刻影響到生活的城市;
-澳門水庫，這反映了辦法，城市之間的緊張關係和水，其永久邊界;
- The Nobre de Carvalho bridge，它代表作為第一個實際例子體現了建設需要侵的領土之間的緊張關係證明的島嶼。
在文字背離計劃這三個案例研究，並利用工作工具如AutoCAD和Viz探索，透明度和分層與概念著眼於城市設計，如規劃，幾何繪圖和領土規劃，我們決定探討思想的城市更詩意的和抽象的方式銘記現存的現實，即一對偶夢想和現實之間，旅行和等待，白天和夜間，線和空間，在他們的互補性。
