Concept - background and idea:
The title (metaSpongia) is temporary name in
consideration, and I m trying to hint to the idea of "almost
organic" density - its multiple "folds" and "pores" -
of a collectively modified digital space. So I am here
using metaphor of "a sponge organism", that creates
its own hidden image, and invite to a travel into it's "volume",
contents of which are not easily seen on surface.
In the age of growing surveilance, media manipulation
and reality simulations, the context of images (esp. audiovisual)
become the image itself and the image can multiply in endless
parallelly existing (and experieriencable) "realities",
that are not "less real" than the "reference
reality".
Additional inspiration: the "magic" of
a hologram, where the any of the fragments of the broken hologram
plate still contains the whole image.
By experimenting with moving, artificial stereoscopic
images (for almost 3 years now) one of the hounting themes
for me have been exploring "the potential hidden space"
that traverses the any picture's plane (framed slice) - the
"missing parts" of the
captured reality fragment or "virtual" (imaginary) "extensions".
It has been somewhat "vivisecting search" for this "whole image" and
it's "bridges" to other images, presuming (and
revealing) to be almost a touchable reality itself. Expectations:
Multi-perspectives
(endo, supra- and "negative" perspectives) as
a constructed (unimaginable) visual experience, "expanded" spatial
awareness. A window to a paradoxical "virtual scenery" extravaganza
-, as a cinematic, immersive installation, fusion of the "photographic", "illusory" and "abstracted" realities.
"saturate" the "contextual
density" and "collide" the scales of representation,
juxtapose various audiovisual reproduction and reference systems
- large pulsating "forest", patched together from the "leafs" and "rivers" from
the contributed P.E.R. shared environment or other
online partners.
