5min 8sec audiovisual recording of ‘iridescent self’ |
|
‘iridescent self’ is an non-durational generative audio-visual installation. |
Sound and image of the piece are to be seen as a continuous visual and acoustic environment combining vivid colour and abstract imagery with rhythmical and melodic elements. Change and development within these predetermined structures is the result of chance operations; external |
|
influences as well as various ongoing analytical procedures scrutinise the occurring melodic events and certain randomised aspects of the work in order to create a holistic relation between the individual elements.
The objective of this cross analysis and cross influence of different aspects of the piece is the creation of a quasi-fluid system, reflecting on and, to a degree, imitating natural acoustic environments or identities. This means that while the pre determined element in the acoustic range or ‘vocabulary’ produces distinctive acoustic qualities, once the work becomes active the use of these components is indeterminate and develops over time, generating unique outcomes. |
The physical element of the work forms an elaborate frame, anchoring the time-based aspect in its current surroundings, by lending the work an almost outer worldly, alien presents. |
Suspended in space the entity that is ‘iridescent self’ looks down to its audience, observing its spectator and surrounding metaphorically as well as through the use of a web camera. As a reversal of roles, this instinctive dialogue, manifests itself within the blurred boundaries of the observer and the observed and could be symptomatic of an attempt to seemingly stimulating, and portraying the eternally willingness to enter into a dialogue with the world, whilst incapable of articulating in the same language.
