Overview

Olafur Eliasson has said that we are bearing witness to a change in the traditional relationship between reality and representation. We are no longer evolving from model to reality, but rather from model to model, at the same time as we recognize that both models are real. As a result, he said, it is possible to work very productively with reality experienced as a conglomerate of models--in essence, models have become co-producers of reality. ​Estamos siendo testigos de un cambio en la relación tradicional entre realidad y representación. Ya no evolucionamos del modelo a la realidad, sino del modelo al modelo, al tiempo que reconocemos que, en realidad, ambos modelos son reales. En consecuencia, podemos trabajar de un modo muy productivo con la realidad experimentada como un conglomerado de modelos. Más que considerar el modelo y la realidad como modalidades polarizadas, ahora funcionan al mismo nivel. Los modelos han pasado a ser coproductores de realidad.' Olafur Eliasson
