<strong>“Re:****Sitruuna ja meduusa” is an audiovisual installation. </strong><br>
</p>
<p>The installation constructs a ‘live’ dynamic system, comprised of
projected 3D graphics and projected sound, creating a virtual
environment or ecosystem which changes and evolves in real-time. It
explores the capacity of the spectator to create relationships – to
build worlds – from multiple sensory information.<br>

The completed work runs live in the Processing and MaxMSP programming
environments. The visuals are constantly being freshly generated by
Processing, and output to projectors in the gallery space; being live,
the work never presents the same scene twice – each and every visual
moment is entirely unique.</p>
<p>Relationships are kept in a delicate balance between clarity and
obscurity. Are visible behaviours triggered and controlled by sound, or
do their behaviours create sound? Are we listening to their actions, or
are we watching them respond to the sounds of their environment? This
projected universe operates on its own laws; familiar, but somehow
elusive. These laws appear to be based in sound, or to emit sound:
objects turn; the projected world turns… while sound events strike,
scurry past, or resonate…</p>
