–what is the central area of praxis relating to your prototype? the central area(s) of praxis for my prototype are: space & soundscape design, evocation and synthesis. specifically, evocation through the designing and manipulation of space and sound. how & why visual and auditory stimulation can evoke, and what that evocation could look like/bring forth.
–why are you interested in this? my interest in space/sound manipulation & design stems from the visual landscape of director Nicolas Winding Refn’s work, (his chosen cinematographers include Larry Smith, Darius Khondji, Diego Garcíaalongside and Magnus Nordenhof Jønck [his chosen composer is often Cliff Martinez]) as well as artistic projects such as Turrell’s illumination of the Dorotheenstädtischer Cemetery in Berlin. These synthetic, indulgent, neon-drenched landscapes are often able to evoke pure and unbridled emotion as well as memory (induced by feeling), and I want to be able to replicate this. being able to evoke through my own work, any kind of pure, unbridled experience, would be a source of vast satisfaction. evocation is, in my opinion, the most powerful and valuable response upon experiencing any kind of art form.
–what are your sources of information/inspiration/conceptual ideology? ‘Brian Eno: His music and the vertical colour of sound’ (Eric Tamm, 1995), ‘Nam June Paik’ (Sook Kyung-Lee & Rudolf Frieling, 2019), ‘Nam June Paik: There is no rewind button for life’ (Kunsthalle Bremen, 2006)
