ABOUT THE PROJECTThe Emenj art installation is an image that conveys the effects of renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions: wind turbines, solar panels and electricity storage. The centre of the installation is a shimmering, glowing and pulsating sphere. It conveys the idea of the planet, the unity of feelings and the sense of life as a shared value. But its life, as well as the benefits people receive, is not possible without electricity. This is why there are sources of electricity generation located in the orbit of the "planet". The faster electricity is generated, the faster it is stored in batteries. The more electricity is generated and stored, the brighter the orb shines, the more it pulsates and emits light and colour, symbolising life as a beating heart, an experience of feelings and emotions.
But why does the installation showcase renewable energy technology rather than traditional technology?
The technology on show is modular and generates and delivers electricity independently of intermediate energy resources and the central electricity grid. With such an autonomous source of electricity, one realises that everything created by it has an even more emphasised individual and distinctive character, and the ecological nature of generating such electricity ensures that the burden of responsibility towards nature, society and future generations of people is lifted. This leads to individual freedom and freedom of expression, reflected in a dynamically soaring form. It is individual freedom and self-actualisation that becomes the global theme of the art installation, as expressed in the uniqueness of the image that refers to nothing but the sublime. And here the art installation also demonstrates that it is not the individual that is part of the common, but the common, the global that becomes part of the individual: the feelings and feelings of life experienced by many becomes what nourishes the feelings and feelings of life of each, the individual. Freedom and self-expression is what brings people together for greater ends as a result, rather than the affirmation of utopian ideas to create a social whole. This dialogue between the two opposites, the general and the particular, is what completes the perception of the holistic image.
The Emenj art installation implicitly solves another problem. The bright and colourful image of the central sphere echoes the logo of the client: "FIOP RUSNANO Group", and unobtrusively connects the sensation of the art installation to RUSNANO
