A×S [ak—sis] FESTIVAL → City as Wunderkammer

Macrocosm

In the sixteenth and- seventeenth century the term Macrocosm, as it applied to the wunderkammer, represented God and all that he created. This encompassed the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms; the changing seasons; the known continents of the earth; and the celestial sphere.

Microcosm

The term Microcosm was understood to be all that was created by humans. This comprised meticulously hand-crafted objects (often realized on a miniature scale); embellished natural entities as such as coral, shells, and fossils gilded with precious metals; and the production of scientific and technological tools such as the astrolabes, lenses, mirrors, and clocks.
