An important moment in the installation is occupied by the imperative «Never Stop Exploring», the motto of the leading outdoor equipment brand The North Face which is universally present on glacial landscapes, putting thin layers of fabric between bodies and increasingly harsh environments. «ex-de-plora» tries to comprehend this imperative in its resonance with excessive modern practices and its own complicity.  «Never Stop Exploring» resonates with violent histories and contemporaries of north-western exploration. Such exploration –  scientific, touristic, artistic or colonial – has in large fostered power structures which define socio-ecological relation until this day. Such power structures are especially present in technologies which resulted from such (western) exploration and socio-ecological exploitation. Nevertheless, technologies have long been imagined as a key solutions to socio-ecological. This is paradigm is evident in the  the uncanny midcentury vision of architect and philosopher Richard Buckminster-Fuller, who proposed landscapes enclosed in his large geodesic domes, cybernetic informatio centers. Since Buckminster-Fullers prototype in the 1960s, the environmentally resistant geodome structure keeps re-entering the ecological discours until this day, reshaping imaginaries of  futuristic, (post-)crises living. The North Face itself has worked with Fuller in the 1970s to adapt the geodesic structure for their tents and later printed the dome shape on their t-shirts to promote the quoted brand motto. Both t-shirt and tent are displaced artefacts present in «ex-de-plora».
