Nouvelle Science Vague Fiction focuses on the relationship between construction and analysis of human ecologies. This raises as a syntactic space in which connections are made between analytic situations and scientific perception (verisimilitude scales), non-experiential learning derived from technological imaginary (estrangement and projection) and levels of configuration of ideal and critical conscience (new orientation forms). The project consists of an audiovisual work structured in two channels and a series of photographs: The first channel of the video projection shows a stratigraphic tour that starts in Slovenia, at the lake Cerknica and the caves that are situated under its surface. This location is considered as a very interesting natural phenomenon: the level of the water never stays the same, appearing and disappearing throughout the year (one could establish a simple comparison between this natural event and the definition of an “interface”: a screen that makes something appear, supposedly out of the nothing). Finally the tour reaches the antennas of ASTRON, the Institute of Radio Astronomy of the Netherlands that studies outer space objects so far away that they can be perceived in their total magnitude only by sound waves. This corresponds, although not synchronously, to the second video channel in which a repository of scientific images succeeds, found in different reconstructions of the scenery of the “Solaris” spacecraft, which in its turn, just as Stanislav Lem presents it in his novel, would result in being a virtual representation of the proper Science that is organized based on fragments and appearances without a visible order. An off-screen voice in the position of a “super observer” guides us through various possible ends of the world, in a markedly objective tone; leaving these apocalyptical prophecies behind, it concludes with some irony on the spectator’s role and the meaning of those events and images, that nobody will ever be able to contemplate. The soundtrack is made in collaboration with the musician Jonathan Saldanha from sound recordings of the black hole Sagitarius A*, located in the centre of the Milky Way, captured by the Dwingeloo Radio Telescope in the Netherlands.
