Sound and Video Installation





The work was created through micro methods. The video portion takes broadcast TV signals and amplifies them, and a digital video camera is used to shoot microwave flashes in electronic luminous flux. The audio portion use as its raw material the sound of the sea, amplifies it, filters out all but the extreme high- and low-end frequencies, and uses a method akin to "biogenetic experimentation" to restructure, mix, recombine, and mutate different sampled sound sources, converting them into a sea-wave microwave sound signal. The microwave sound signals suggestive of spotlit waves on the surface of a vast sea correspond to the manmade microimage of the noise of broadcast electronic signals, and they are full of the unknown and are surprising.
