25 moving head light beams on a truss stands and a powerful sound system were installed along the hall. While the light sculpture started to move, the electronic light devices came to life, turning into the actors themselves, bringing the light, shut in the strict geometry back, to its unpredictable nature.

KINESICS is a complex 3D-mapped video installation. It employs a face sculpture that is fully cgi designed, consists of 125 polygons, and is built as a huge 3m x 4.5m object. As every polygon can be seen as an independent projection surface, appearing either as single pieces or consolidating and transforming to an endless number of different countenances, this sculpture can adopt virtually any kind of physical appearance.

A synchronised sound installation not only intensifies the experience, but also triggers the sculpture’s movement and transformation.

I have always believed that human emotions come with corresponding waves of energy that we carry within. When I am happy or sad there is an indescribable energy that somehow resonates in others. They feel my vibe, as if my energy is echoing off them. That is why I started “Eunoia” and “Eunoia II” in an attempt to create an audio-visualization of my emotional states. These performances have been therapeutic for me, providing a means of emptying my mind of thoughts.

For “Eunoia II”, I am using the emotional values (excitement, engagement, meditation, frustration, boredom) picked up by the EEG headset, which then gets translated into sound waves that create vibrations in the pools of water placed atop speakers.

Throughout the performance of “Eunoia II”, the intensity of my feelings at the time are mirrored in the intensity of the sound in terms of volume, pitch, feedback, speed, and the panning of the sound output. The result was that the water responded in real-time creating different formations of ripples and droplets in unpredictable patterns.

“Eunoia II” is comprised of 48 speakers with metal plates in various sizes, all containing pools of water. The number 48 symbolizes philosopher Baruch Spinoza’s definitions of 48 different emotions. In his book Ethics, he describes emotions as states of mind and body related to feelings and says that all emotions are derived from three primary emotions: joy, pain, and desire.

Emptiness by Angélica García

More alchemical photo works by Angelica Garcia who takes on the topics of loneliness and ennui. She does this with hand manipulation rather than digitally.

“Everyday I lose you… time, You are like water that slips away from me. Presence. Moment. Movement. How can I do to show how you run from me? How can I show that even if I freeze you, then you aren’t the same? How if I steal your essence, I don’t have you anyway? Strange presence… Emptiness.”
