INTERFACE CHRONICITY This is a study for an installation that investigates the mutual relationship between the virtual world of three activated spaces on the walls surrounding the viewer, and the real world represented by fixed flat images within. The respective influences of synchronous and asynchronous motions and colors are used to study the overall question of our awareness, consciousness, and integration or connection-making abilities. A neural system where the colors indicate, in one sequence, the phase difference between neurons in different parts of the cortex illustrates processing in the brain, and coheres and decoheres with the still images. |

At a meta level, the sequences are themselves subject to the syn/dis/a-chronous study in the way they are organized, juxtaposed or superimposed, while the music also reflects the timing issues discussed visually. The music describes lurching, oscillating, and synchronizing behavior. Flat art, painting, and photographs involve making a representation which extracts the essence of an element of external reality. This is exactly the same kind of visual processing we perform all the time. However, no matter how complex, kinetic, three-dimensional, or multifaceted the images with which we are presented, the eye makes flat art, which the brain interprets as reality. |
