ZONES OF FLOW II
zones of flow (ii), ON | OFF, Media Arts Nexus (MAN), NTU-Singapore
Self generative piece (Processing) & fixed media piece (Premiere/Audition)
“zones of flow” is a work-in-progress project which investigates the fluid connections between people, sea and land. The piece zones of flow (ii) is an audiovisual artwork created to for the MAN display, which is located in a public area in NTU-Singapore; an open corridor where there is a regular flow of people moving across the space. The piece has come out of a sailing experience across the Atlantic in a 15m sailing boat. The ongoing project explores the instantaneous but sometimes asynchronous connectivity between things and people as they move in and across digito-tangible environments.
The moving images and sounds were recorded during the sailing trip, and capture the transient flows that surrounded the vessel, its inhabitants and the environment through which we travelled from the safety of the continent to the remote Azores islands. In this journey, time and space became distorted and sometimes slowed down, expanded, while others it contracted and sped up.
Special thanks to: Ina Conradi for hosting me in Singapore and inviting me to participate in ON|OFF, Mark Chavez for his support during the testing phase, and the International Office (University of Kent) for supporting my travel to the School of Arts, Design and Media, NTU Singapore.
