Metro Meditations
METRO MEDITATIONS
Asseyez-vous avec un dos droit. Fermez les yeux et répétez mon mantra: KIRIM KIRIM KIRIM, Vous aurez des pensées, c'est bon, laissez-les être, mais favorisez le mantra, revenez-y. Vous vous retrouverez à ne pas répéter et à ne pas penser: c'est fantastique! vous allez vouloir vous accrocher à ce sentiment et il disparaîtra. Répétez KIRIM KIRIM et ayez quelques pensées : ce cycle s'appelle la méditation.

Repite, KIRIM, KIRIM y ten algunas ideas. Este ciclo se llama MEDITACIÓN...…

Proposal for Art Installation In the Grand Paris Express
Introduction:
We propose the installation of a captivating and transformative art piece, titled "Metro Meditations" created by Mexican American artist Claudia Doring Baez. This innovative installation aims to enhance the commuter experience on the new Paris subway line, providing travelers with a unique opportunity to engage with art and mindfulness.
Artist Overview:
Claudia Doring Baez is a celebrated artist whose work transcends cultural boundaries. Much of her body of work is based on reinterpreting some of the greatest artists in art history. To prepare for her work, Doring Baez utilizes this Metro Meditation technique.
Art Installation Concept:
"Metro Meditations" is a fusion of technology and mindfulness.
It consists of an interactive QR code panel strategically placed throughout the subway stations.
Interactive Experience:
Metro Meditation:
Upon scanning the code, commuters will be taken to an audio meditation session led by Claudia Doring Baez herself. It lasts 45 seconds. Her voice will guide passengers through a meditation, providing respite from the hustle and bustle of their daily commute.
Accessibility:
The installation will include subtitles and audio descriptions to ensure inclusivity for all passengers, including those with disabilities.
Installation Locations:
The QR code panels will be strategically placed in high-traffic areas of each subway station, making them easily accessible to commuters. These locations will include station entrances, waiting platforms, and seating areas, allowing passengers to engage with the installation at their convenience.
Educational Component:
To complement the installation, informational signage will be placed near each QR code panel, providing brief descriptions of Claudia Doring Baez's work and the importance of mindfulness in today's fast-paced world.
Public Engagement:
We envision "Metro Meditations" as a unique opportunity to engage the public with art, culture, and self-care. Commuters will be encouraged to share their experiences on social media using a designated hashtag, fostering community engagement and promoting the Paris subway as a center of cultural enrichment.
Conclusion:
"Metro Meditations" by Claudia Doring Baez is an extraordinary proposal for an art installation on the new Paris subway line. This immersive experience brings together art, technology, and mindfulness, providing commuters with a transformative journey within themselves. We believe that this installation will not only enrich the subway experience but also promote mental well-being and cultural engagement in the heart of Paris.
