Aether (/ˈiːθər/)
Aether differed from the four terrestrial elements; it was incapable of motion of quality or motion
of quantity. Aether was only capable of local motion. Aether naturally moved in circles,
and had no contrary, or unnatural, motion. She also noted that celestial spheres made of aether
held the stars and planets.
The bodies of the planets were considered to be denser than the medium which filled the rest of
the universe. She stated that the aether was of the character that it was „subtler than light“.
The 3rd- century view, concerning the aether as penetrative and non-material.
The smell of the baked bread is streaming to the Gewerbehaus like the ephemeral element and is
reminding the visiors of their basic instincts and needs.
In room 001 the craftsmanship of baking and the craftsmanship of creating art confront each other.
The AETHER project is an ongoing experimental exibition format by the artists Lisa Jäger and
Philipp Pess. For Parallel Vienna 2020 Vent gallery and WAF gallery fuse.
