From chaos to chaos (2024)

interactive installation



One of my top favourite projects of this year. This project was made as part of a concert by Ensemble Terrible, a collaboration between HAMU and UMPRUM. The concert consisted of several "stations", made by collaborations of composers and animators.

The concert's theme was memories. Our take was different to others - while each of the stations was more-less performances, ours was an interactive installation.

The concept is simple - three video loops of memories from different time periods were played by 12 old TVs. Each loop was at first displaced - by correctly plugging or unplugging cables, the videos got slowly assembled until the loop was complete, moving on to the next loop.

Music was reflecting this - similarly to constructing the videos, music was at first completely distorted and got clearer and clearer as the audience got closer to the final result.
