Based on the Caleader™ concept, the Interstice 3903™ collective art performance is a physical representation of our decision-making process: 12 doors, 12 months, 12 decisions, 365 days. These doors are affixed with a summoning instrument requiring an intervention: telephone, alarm clock, service bell, etc. With live music interpreted with a cello, members of the public are invited on stage, to join the melody by playing these instruments while entering, thus contributing to a contemporary music work, representative of our cadenced daily routine. This artistic approach aims at making participants aware that their actions and inertia ineluctably ends up revealing a 'YES' or a 'NO' to their environment. |

PROJECT OUTLINE |
| |
FIRST INTERNATIONAL CALENDAR: INTERACTIVE 3D VERSION
The stage is composed of 12 doors upon which are affixed a summoning instrument on their front side and a month of the First International Calendar on their backside. Thus, once within, participants have a surrounding view of the full year's dates. |
| |
CONCEPT
This project physically illustrates the ultimate decision power held by everyone of us. May it about at work, at play or while shopping, we're all facing choices. The twelve doors thus embody twelve alternatives which we choose from while confronted to our daily dilemmas.
|
| |
ORIGINALITY
The originality of this art work is in its stage setting. The elevated structure is made of twelve doors set in a circle. To access the center, the observer must pass through one of them and activate the interpellation instrument affixed to it. The heart of the structure represents the decision center: once in the middle, the participant occupies the position of decision-maker.
|
| |
PARTICIPANT'S OPTIONS
The doors now surrounding him symbolise the multiple options available to him during his decision-making process. The instruments being activated by the other participants accessing the structure illustrates the numerous attempts made by his environment to catch his attention et trigger his decisions. Also, the dates of the current year are set on the twelve surrounding doors. This allegory expresses the temporality of his choices: he doesn't have eternity to take his decisions, they have an expiration date.

ACCESSING THE STRUCTURE |
| |
|
| |
(SAME DOOR SEEN FROM BOTH SIDES)
| CONSULTATION & SELECTION |
Participants consult reading-stands preceding doors and choose by which one they will access the structure. |
|
| PARTICIPATION & ACCESS |
Next, they play their summoning tool along with the cellist and then access the center of the structure. |
|
| FUN & DISCOVERY |
They then discover the 3D climbing plants version of the First International Calendar displayed around them. |
|
|
| |
DOORs |
| |
Each door has the following features:
- A reading-stand describing the door's attributes and symbolism.
- A common answer such as 'Never!', 'Maybe!', 'Why not!', etc. which identifies and differentiates each door, accompanied with the answer's basic implications.
- A daily summoning tool which the participant uses to play along with the cellist.
- A short written analogy between the summoning tool and a phase in our life: birth, childhood, teenage, adulthood, etc.
- A 3D climbing plants version the First International Calendar which the participant consults once inside the structure.

WHY NOT! |

'WHY NOT!' is an improvised and collaborative 'YES' often used as an answer to unexpected and seemingly harmless situations. It is thus an engaging 'YES' leading us to make a parting from our planned routine. |

MATERIAL AND FINANCIAL NEEDS |
| |
The financial and material needs of the project are obviously humongous. The Interstice 3903™ requires 5 000 000 € for the whole of its 5 years of operations. Just the founding infrastructure, the salaries, the transportation of the structure from one city to another, its storage between assignments and the staff lodging while on tour require a steady flow of substantial income to guarantee the project' success. Financial or material contribution could constitute a strategic choice to display your products, services and expertise under the public eye. You may want to answer the project's needs for commercial visibility or simply out of generosity.
