Frgments

[Το κείμενο διατίθεται μόνο στα Αγγλικά] This is his most comprehensive project. This is also the first time he’s using video as a raw material.

This piece was inspired by cut-up concept/technique, created by Brion Gysin, which the boundaries were pushed by William S. Burroughs and also by Tristan Tzara with his folding techniques.

FRGMENTS refreshes all these dadaist concepts into a maelstrom of digital post-modern audiovisual matter.

FRGMENTS is both an audiovisual live performance and an autonomous installation showing the permanent disruption of a continuous sound & visual flow.

FRGMENTS is a real-time based coded system that displays pre-shooted video footage and then, reassemble them, resort them, recut them time-wise (scrambled playing order, unexpected time loops) and space-wise (fragmentation of the image matrix itself, unexpected collage of part of the videos). It runs a specific generative narration which plays following different contexts, sometimes being completely autonomous (installation version), sometimes somehow controlled (live performance version). It emits and generates sound, some parts that have been partially written using a specific set of rules and algorithms, playing with metric, bars, time and loop concepts.
