Exhibits (2022)

Exhibits introduces a fictional gallery where four sculptures are presented and combined in surrealistic transformations. The sculptures are separated into two categories: the geometric solids and the algorithmic sculptures.

 

The algorithmic sculptures have been generated through the three-dimensional visualisation of Genetic Algorithm’s optimisation process. Through this process two sculptures were obtained resembling distorted or xenomorphic versions of the geometric solids. The two sculpture types are hybridised and increasingly deformed, as the piece balances on the interplay between recognisable and unrecognisable, symmetrical and biomorphic, rigid and elastic.

 

This dialogic narrative unfolds in three acts during which we explore the sculptures visually and sonically. The latter becomes possible through a mechanism that scans the geometry of the sculpture and conveys its shape to sound. Experimenting with various scanning directions and patterns, novel sonic material is obtained, ranging from complex textures and rhythmic articulations to expressive gestures. As the result of the direct conversion of the morphology of each sculpture to sound, this technique maintains a powerful intrinsic connection between sound and image, functioning as the carrier of narrative for the greatest part of the work.
