PRESS RELEASE
LINE is proud to announce the release of its first DVD, Camera Lucida. The project by Russian/American
installation and video artists, Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand and developed in collaboration with
scientific laboratories in Japan, Germany, Russia and Belgium, Camera Lucida (chamber of light or
lucidity) is a 3-dimensional sonic observatory that directly transforms sound into light by employing a
phenomenon known as sonoluminescence: ultrasound, propagating within a liquid, triggers the formation
and implosion of micro-bubbles that reach temperatures as high as are found on the Sun, and emit light in
the shape of sound waves. The authors of the installation, Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand, joined
forces with multiple sound artists to create the sonochemical compositions presented on this DVD.
This DVD also contains a data partition with uncompressed high resolution audio files of all the works.
Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand create sensory immersion environments that merge physics,
chemistry and computer science with uncanny philosophical practices. Having dismissed all forms of
fixative and recording media, Domnitch and Gelfand's installations exist as ever-transforming phenomena
offered for observation. Because these rarely seen manifestations take place directly in front of the
observer without being distorted and flattened onto a screen, they often serve to vastly extend the
observer's sensory envelope.
Their works have been exhibited worldwide, including shows at V2 Institute for Unstable Media (Rotterdam,
Netherlands), Nijo Castle (Kyoto, Japan), Museum of Dreams (St. Petersburg, Russia), I-20 Gallery (New
York, USA), Die Schachtel (Milan, Italy) and Tesla (Berlin, Germany).

"Camera Lucida is a highly introspective immersive spatial art work creating a fleeting ephemeral
materiality by intersecting ultrasound with hyperlight... in essence the creation of a sonic aurora. Domnitch
and Gelfand's piece rejects any possibility to be fixed in space and time, but rather offers up the very
definition of an unstable work of art, existing entirely for and within the perceptive realm of the viewer."
Stephen Kovats, Director of Transmediale 2008
Due to the detailed and subtle visual nature of this work and phenomenon the artists have chosen to use
PAL over NTSC encoding to maintain the maximum resolution possible for the movie and sound files. This
DVD is region free and can be played on any computer DVD drive. No region switching is necessary For
television screen viewing, it can only playback on a PAL or multi-system DVD player. Playback in a
darkened space with monitor brightness turned up is encouraged.
