Instruction Manual for a Fifth Empire, 2013 Join with us, set free, at once, and when to return? Through a combination of spatial, parapsychological and operational means we cast our Caravel back out into the world, the vessel afloat, journeying through space and time on a quest to reveal the riches promised by previous generations. By remotely viewing potential futures we bid to encourage a return to prominence a re-emergence, the coming of the 5th empire. Using remote viewing techniques, and aural and visual stimuli to achieve a beta state of awareness we are able to project ourselves beyond our current confines. Through a combination of remote viewing workshops and physical installation we invite visitors to take part in our experiment, exploring possible Portuguese futures, their realisation and their possible impacts. Originally installed within the Sinel de Cordes Palace, Lisbon, Portugal, as part of the 2013 Lisbon Triennale. Produced in Collaboration with Claudia Palma Romao Remote viewing performance workshop, Lisbon, November 2013
