Atmospherics

*/

The invisible atmosphere was thus the assumed intermediary in all communication, a zone of subtle influences crossing, mingling, and metamorphosing. The progressive forgetting of the air— the loss of the invisible richness of the present—has been accompanied by a concomitant internalisation of human awareness.

CULTURAL ECOLOGIST DAVID ABRAM, THE SPELL OF THE SENSUOUS

Atmospherics is a synesthetic performance, immersive audio experience, and educational tour featuring three musicians, spoken word narrative, dynamic visuals, architectonic transitions, and interactive elements for the audience. Lasting 45 minutes, the piece can be performed both in large concert halls and in more intimate or unconventional venues as a traveling performance. The experience was collaboratively developed by Elias Faingersh, Jenny Filipetti, Sofia William Åsenlöf, and Imre Zsibrik. Visuals relate to notions of time, sound, memory, creation, and decay, and participants become part of the music throughout the experience: invoking thunderstorms, recording their own voices and sound effects, and moving around the environment.

12 Months, Moons, and Sons

*/

This collaborative synesthetic piece experienced its world debut at the Kav Kaz Festival in Derbent, Russia, in October 2021, under the curation of Masha Kroupnik. This work sought to bring alive the Biblical story of the 12 Sons of Israel, creating a multisensory symphony of sound, light, and colour for each brother/tribe. Visual pieces incorporate the colours, symbols, and imagery  relating to the life or tribal role of each son, each element created as visual embodiment of the experience listening to that piece. The videos were then compiled and performed live during the festival.

I created and performed the live video projections. Music was composed by Uri Brener and conducted by Zarifa Abdulaeva. Featuring Sergei Nakaryakov (France) on the trumpet and cornet, Elias Faingersh (Sweden) on the trombone, live electronics, shofar, and the Makhachkala Philharmonic Orchestra. Narrative elements were composed by Elias Faingersh and Keren Klimovsky (Israel/Sweden). Additional lighting design by Imre Zsibrik (Sweden). View video footage from the Tribe of Levy, the Tribe of Issacher, and the 12 Tribes of Israel.

The Sky Series

Mediated meditations on the skies. A study of everyday color. As if the earth itself could be experienced as pure wavelength, and we navigating its terrains of intensity.

Nitrogen cycle

Nitrogen cycle is an algorithmically processed photographic collage.

Whether algorithmic, biological, or social, we live enmeshed in code— and increasingly, with the rise of computer vision and machine learning, as participants in ecologies of sensory systems both human and non-human. Developed in a collaborative process between artist and machine, this print is part of a larger body of work that juxtaposes two visions: algorithmic logic and that of the human eye. They also revel in something which both tend to recognize: the unique beauty of each breath, moment, body, or brilliant sky.
