Yann Novak is a sound, video and
installation artist living and working
in Los Angeles. His work utilizes
different forms of digital documentation
as a point of departure. Through the
digital manipulation of these sound and
image files, his works serve as a
translation from documents of personal
experiences into an open ended
autobiographical narrative. By choosing
subject matter that is also relatable to
the audience, NovakÆs work creates a
hybrid state, balancing between his own
personal history and that of the
audience. Yann has had previous works
released on Line, Infrequency, White
Line Editions. In addtion Yann manages
the label Dragon's eye which has seen
numerous works by the artist released.
Presence originated as a sound
performance at an event curated by
VOLUME at the Torrance Art Museum (June
2010). The original sound performance
used a mixture of recordings taken with
a cell phone of sounds that altered ones
perception. These recordings were then
digitally enhanced there unique
characteristics.
During the original performance,
multiple artists also performed and
interacted with the space. There
unexpected interventions influenced the
outcome and this unexpected interaction
has become central to the pieces
development.
Presence explores the trajectory from
uneasy to breakthrough that can happen
when unknown variables are combined.
Through the use of digitally enhanced
recordings, all chosen for there ability
to altered ones perception, Presence
moves smoothly through the a number of
emotional and physical states. Evenly
paced passages drift slowly from one
into another, beginning in dissonance
and slowly shifting into complimentary
over the duration of the piece.
