Current Exhibition
Cadences
7 May – 16 June
Yuji Sone with Ros Crisp, Ruark Lewis, and Dean Walsh
Cadences recomposes separate art components - video footage of two dancers, recorded vocal performance, and digital images of an installation work - in a new context, a video installation. Cadences works in the tension between video and dance, between sound art and oral poetry, and between animation and digital photography. While a video installation is a closed system in the sense that it is non-interactive, it does however permit a playing out of repetitive modes that resonates within the spectator, highlighting the dichotomy between the live and the mediated. Similarly, digital effects operate between the original and the photoshopped.
The materiality of the immaterial (video, audio recordings, and photographs) is manifest through digital translation and a rhythm that is both cyclic and a pulsation or wave that inheres in media themselves. This project explores artistic interdisciplinarity, focusing on the particular temporal and textural repetitiveness of the video installation.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body.
