Chora (2009)

Chora is a generative meditation on the impermanence of form for HD video and 4-16 channels of audio, whose inspiration comes from the tectonic activity of the Pacific Ring of Fire. The work puts the viewer at the center of an minimal audio-visual composition that is constantly in motion. Rather than sound and image simply being accompaniments to each other, they are instead projections of a veiled system of forces created by a computer simulation. Through sound and image, the work aims to create for the viewer a liminal space between the virtual and the actual through which the viewer can envision new forms.
