00:00The Polish Table, as we call it, is a custom-made installation that's made purely for the Thailand-made expectations of Poland.
00:08When it comes to describing the universal story of Poland, that might be pretty much understandable to each and every visitor
00:15coming from each and every country, so it's a universal international story.
00:19This Polish Table is kind of a thing that we do when we want to invite our guests over to our houses, to our homes.
00:26Then we wine and dine them, we have chats, we share our stories, we make them feel as welcome as they might be.
00:34So this is the proper explanation of the idea behind it, and what we would like to do,
00:39we would like to invite our guests to not only stand by the table, but also to feel welcome at the Polish Pavilion.
00:46So, as you can see, there are different modules made of different raw materials.
00:51We try to be as creative as it can be.
00:54So the first one would be the glass module. It is made a little milky, a little shaded, a little foggy,
01:00but it still depicts the proper meadows when it comes to the foggy landscapes of Poland.
01:06So this was made by Agnieszka Bar, one of our world-renowned artists when it comes to the glassware.
01:12The other ones are pretty much the exemplification of how the process of making yachts in Poland,
01:19when it comes to Poland being one of the biggest manufacturers of yachts throughout the world.
01:24We have made it with Konrad Shipyard, which is the second or the third biggest shipyard in Poland,
01:30and it just depicts you the proper process of creating the yacht itself.
01:35So starting from the structure and presenting different materials used to fit out the yachts.
01:41So this is presented by one of our biggest manufacturers when it comes to the porcelain in China and Poland,
01:47namely Bolesławiec.
01:48And it was made by two artisans that came especially for the presence of the Polish pavilion and the Polish table itself.
01:56So they just came with the idea of transforming the clay into a mosaic and then they just hand-painted it.
02:02So not only the raw materials, not only the transformation from clay to porcelain as a technology,
02:07but also the paintings and the drawings over there.
02:11They are all handmade and they depict the Polish nature themselves.
02:14Then we have those aluminium alloy modules that are created by PiUp Space.
02:20It's the Polish company that's into the space industry, of course.
02:24And this alloy presents, of course, some different shapes when it comes to presenting the physical appearance of our country,
02:31when it comes to the landscape of mountains.
02:33The blown copper and the blown steel, as mentioned previously,
02:37these are the special modules that are using the dedicated technique by Oskar Zienta and his accomplices.
02:44So this is the one that depicts the Lower Silesia region,
02:49as well as just gives you the proper creativity inspiration when it comes to utilizing the copper itself.
02:55Last but not least, there are two modules created by Maciej Siuda.
02:59This is the technique called the inlay.
03:03So there are different parts, different kinds of wood gathered throughout the whole Poland,
03:09because I believe that Maciej Siuda went through different landscapes,
03:12trying to find different kinds of wood, different stocks of wood,
03:15and just try to compile them using his technique.
03:18People would expect this table to be an art installation itself,
03:21and the art installations themselves are pretty much something that you do not interact with.
03:26But this one comes with a surprise.
03:28It would be not only operated and hosted by our students that will give you the human touch,
03:32but they will also encourage you just to interact using these voice sensors.
03:37And when you go, Dzień dobry, you would see the whole installation just lighting up.
03:43And the whole idea behind it is just to make all those mics, all those sensors being used by different kinds of guests,
03:51standing right next to each and every part of the table,
03:54and by saying Dzień dobry or welcome in Polish or whichever other language you would like to use,
04:01this would just give you the proper interaction perception,
04:05and this would light up the table as a common goal, I would say.
04:10We're trying to light it up as a general, as a whole, light up the tower,
04:14and then the light would go up straight from the tower,
04:17beaming up to the kinetic sculpture right above the table.
