HONORARY MENTION
flüux:/terminal
Skoltz_Kolgen


flüux:/terminal projects images on two screens in a parallel visual body of luminous particles: photographed or filmed images and wire frame displays. As stereophonic visual representations, the two screens are the alter egos of the audio, which is also divided in two. The sound sources (left/right) are desynchronized and propelled into separate channels: the left-hand channel excites the left-hand image; the right-hand channel excites the right-hand image. The image is distorted, bearing the marks that the sound imprints upon it, and becomes the fossil of the sound. A bipolar experience is therefore built by catalyzing the lines of tension between two independent but related audio and visual worlds. Their dissociation in one instance and their synchrony or symmetry in another establish space-times that fairly float in weightlessness. These suspended moments are succeeded by fresh charges of energy that are massive and intense. A new generation of meaning escapes: attraction and repulsion, interdependence at times, followed by struggle and conflict at others.
