00:00Thank you for joining us.
00:30I guess people will enjoy the performance as we will all do because, you know, art is
00:58something very special.
01:00It can be mysterious, it can be inspirative.
01:08The work that Matt has done is a very unique piece of art.
01:15He combines human movement with all the hidden information behind architecture and the universe,
01:25as he called it, the hidden order information.
01:29And from a storytelling perspective, for me, it was hard to follow the path Matt was drawing.
01:37And at the end of the preview, I realized there's nothing to understand but to enjoy.
01:45Humans are meant to create and enjoy art, but not necessarily to understand it.
02:05And we get a lot of questions about people wanting to see the projection mapping throughout
02:09the year.
02:10So that's also one of the reasons why we wanted to create a space inside the house that could
02:14host a contemporary art.
02:16So we could extend the time that this projection is happening and also bring the dialogue across
02:23the interior and exterior of the city.
02:25So we try and really document all of the projects and create and share that on our social media.
02:33We have a huge social media community that's quite engaged.
02:37Even we get a lot of messages from Argentina.
02:39That's kind of the biggest audience we have online, which is kind of weird considering that
02:44it's so far away, yet the engagement with EGALDI is still there.
02:48And also we are hoping that with contemporary we can later down the road take it outside
02:54of the house and show how this works in a way that can reach many millions more outside.
