| media installation and audio-video performance |
Hex is an multichannel audiovideo installation initiated during winter
2001 during a residency at Het Wilde Weten in Rotterdam. The installation
is comprised of six (6) projection screens (1.5m x 3m each) made of
fabric and resin modelled from low-reliefs, with three synchronized
video programs and 5.1 surround sound.
Nanospace is a live version of Hex (two soft-sync video channels mixed
live and audio performance).
Hex and Nanospace find their sources in minimalist design and the fascinating
new imagery of nanotechnology.
The two experimental works postulate that it is in the observation of
nature that lie the technological solutions (recycling, bionics, green
architecture, sustainable design) to our environmental problems.
The works draw on the shape of the hexagon, utilized as a symbol as
well as a structural
system... a type of imminent trajectory of matter in transformation,
and the ensuing imperceptible changes: from the molecular reality of
carbon to a global planetary view.
