MINDSCAPE/THE AIR SYNDROME
Project 2020
Bridging worlds, one we call reality, one we can not reach, for which we expand our abilities through tools. We generate speculative visions. Reshaping and merging sound and space. The second and third video is a gaze rotating around a levitating sculpture in a post apocalyptic landscape with abstract tendencies and the sound (during performances) comes from the electromagnetic fields in wires, lamps, projector, out of any electronic device which is animated and agitated by it. I follow cables and light sources and make them audible. I go further along walls containing these fluctuations of energy.
Starting with the fact that we are altered by these energy reverberations in/on our body (we can not see or hear them directly and therefore don’t prevent or anticipate intensive exposition to it and bear it passively). Within our body is going on a similar network which might endure the outside forces but for how long without shivering ?
My point is not to consider our upcoming loss of strength but to feel empowered by these emerging disordered emotions which are shifting from one to another. To convey and carry in ourselves uncontrollable hybrid otherness. Increasing an augmented listening. Being here and there, as well as nowhere, loosing consistence and embracing an altered reality/being.
Mindscape is building up a mental space, as a landscape of thoughts raised to paranormal, a physical experience in an alter-reality. A dark room which seeks to travel to the subconscious.
The sound surrounding the human beings triggers anxiousness, a feeling of -being lost in time- as a timeless moment tending to reach the portal of/to future.
The voices heard are out of understanding, too far or foreign (in fact reversed) and then twisted or cursed with what seems to be a robot or a learning AI repeating the human voice and quickly taking over. The human is still there but trapped in this open space, a room in which time as well as sound flutters away, comes closer, putting beings in this unstable position of being lost. A berceuse is calming down later, as a call from childhood, as the sound of dreams might appear. Trying to challenge consciousness within dream alike virtual realms.
