Chora (2009)

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