Chasing Waves

The installation is based on recordings made in the Experimental TV Studio New York. Using 70’s technology, simple tones, buzzes and glitches were made visual via voltage controlled video synthesis. This technique directly converts the frequencies of the audio signal into a visual form. These recordings are then made three dimensional by projecting them onto 10 surfaces of 4 rectilinear forms. When a number of these recordings are played simultaneously in a randomly chosen order, complete with audio, new rhythmic and harmonic, audio visual complexities emerge, creating a constantly changing audio visual composition in three dimensions.
