% Tower of Babel- torre de aspirar





























Tower of Babel- “Vacuum Cleaner” ADRIAN MOLINA Oct. 2008

- My intentions are to make a sculptured column, tower made of pedestals and communication devices and all being assembled to communicate as one device.
What do the pieces communicate?
What they are,
What they do,
Where they came from.

- This tower of communication, what does it communicate?
It communicates questions about contemporary sculpture, discarded objects from society a.k.a. waste and value.

- Method and form:
In style of American street art in Barcelona with Barcelonian rubbish and available facilities in method of composed improvisation.

-What I was thinking of:
Sculpture art history
Column vs. pedestal
Language of sculpture
Sculpture vs. architecture
Technology and speed
What do we value and discard?
How much does our waste say about us?
How does communication really connect and disconnect us?

- Proposal for Babel Tower:
As Babel Tower was destroyed in the legend and all human kind dispersed and has to relearn to communicate, I too will destroy this tower and rebuild it and relearn, from all the pieces, how to make another sculpture, a new sculpture with new language.
