Daimon
ZAPRUDER [it]
‘Daimon’ is a project in installments which follows the work of the writer, philosopher and anthropologist Georges Bataille. In terms of its etymology (diaomai, ‘to lacerate, to divide’), daimon means the ‘ripper’, “the one who divides
and separates”. Daimon’s leitmotif is therefore a tension, a conflict which is impossible to solve, but proper to human nature ‘insolvable’, a source of glory and ecstasy, of laughter and tears. Conceived from the perspective of a chamber cinema, ‘Daimon’ is a video installation in which with 3D techniques are experimented with, generating relief like images, enabling the eye to become a tactile tool.

filmachine
Keiichiro Shibuya [jp], Takashi Ikegami [jp]
Three circles of loudspeakers are suspended from the ceiling above an abstract landscape. On entering the space, the visitor starts the composition with a button at the center of the piece, triggering an immersive audio-visual experience in a 3-dimensional soundscape, enhanced by a specially designed LED lighting system. For the exhibition in Berlin, Keiichiro Shibuya creates a new composition which is presented here as a world premiere. It is based on research of complex systems and makes use of cellular automata and logistic maps for sound synthesis.
The accompanying CD ‘filmachine phonics’ emulates the spatial experience of the installation within the limited acoustic space of stereo headphones.
