GLOBAL BODIES OF CONSCIOUSNESS

This is a video project in the search for how our interconnected thoughts simultaneously talk in our souls and turn our entropic existence into rolling and tossing ping-pong balls, in our monologues, dialogues and our social co-ressonances.
So I designed 30 balls, each one of which is a “sample” character encapsulating several personas talking simultaneously through some random key words. Each has a different tint of color and pitch of voice.
And each ball do multi-layer talk for just 15 seconds, then it’s distracted by the notification bell of an unseen mobile device.
First I introduce them one by one as they do their inner monologues. Then I put them into my palms to make them chat and complement each other in surprising ways.
Thirdly, I throw them into a traditional Turkish bendir drum and shake the drum in circular movements, in order to stage the course of our destinies which travels in coils (or in other words, in years) This container, meantime, makes a reference to an Islamic astrological term called the Circle of Earth (Feleğin Çemberi), which stands for the orbital course of planets and the orbital course of our lives which are destined to reach wisdom.
Finally I include the children (here depicted as glass marbles in the video) this action. Their global bodies of consciousness is not opaque, but as transparent as glass with beautiful colors not painted over them
but embedded deep inside. And they just clink and clank with full stamina of life enjoying spontaneity instead of getting trapped in utterances of a long used midscape.

And as a final touch, I add a large colorful sponge ball as a final touch to see what happens as we all chase after the epic dream called “happiness”?
My ultimate goal is to leave you alone with some questions:
1- How would our global bodies of consciousness lead us in this circular turmoil of endless interaction? And how would they co-resonate and reshape each other?
2- How would it sound when children) were included in this game?
3- And what would be like when we call for or recall “happiness”?
