Planetary Synchronicity
Interventions on a Global Scale
Planetary Synchronicity is an ongoing series of experimental collaborative
works or interventions coordinated on a global scale. With this work
Alexander aims to explore ways for a better understanding of the global
space as one borderless entity. The project is inspired by the phenomena of
simultaneity and synchronicity and the simple fact that everything which
happens now, happens at the same time, on the same planet, in the same
global space, which he calls Substanzraum - the space of
substance. We are all living inside one giant global space. By coordinating
synchronized artistic actions around the globe and blending them together,
Alexander hopes to created a more internalized awareness of "Globality"
through the experience of an event in time and space, rather then an purely
intellectual understanding of a conceptual fact in ones mind.

Planetary Synchronicity I
Meet me half way
In collaboration with Luis Alonso Sanchez
In this synchronized event, Alexander and Luis agreed on each lighting a
rocket at the beach at the exact time when the terminator (that is the line
which devides day and night) hits Buchans Junction, a settlement with only a
hand full of dwellings in Newfoundland, which the both artists determined as
aproximately half way between their two locations The Hague, The Netherlands
and Tijuana, Mexico. The preparations, buildup and climax of the event
taking place were shared instantly by Alexander via instagram stories.
"Throughout history, space has been undergoing a process of ever more
detailed “gridisation”, even the 4-dimensional timespace. Every point in
space-time is potentially accessible. Nowadays, communication technologies
enable us to act on a scale of global timespace with nearly no limitations
through physical borders and beyond the reach of biopower or biopolitics.
This state of fact created through technology might be a precursor of a
transgression, a leaking discharge of liberating subtle locomotions into
global space, causing its fluidity to become as experienceable for us, as
it truly is."
