EKO performance setup, EMPAC / RPI Troy, 2019
EKO is unfolding in the splendid void of pitch-darkness. In irregular intervals, for fractions
of seconds only, bursts of animated, abstract light forms seem to appear out of nowhere.
Back to darkness, retinal afterimage impressions are left imprinted onto viewer’s retinas.
These after images slowly diminish and dissolve into the dark, until the next eruption of light.
EKO starts with ~15minutes of complete blackout, with an abstract surround sound-scape,
something like a slowly gyrating patterned mass.
Once first light disrupts the dark, the work’s sound-scape attunes to and accentuates the
fragile nature of the afterimages. Sound is present always, with high dynamic range.
EKO runs ~40 minutes.
