FORMAT: DVD (DIGIPAK + 52 PAGE COLOR
BOOK IN EMBOSSED SLIPCASE)
RELEASE: NOVEMBER 17, 2009
LIMITED EDITION: 1000
Instead of creating mere objects of
aesthetic seduction, a new form of art
is surfacing that invites audiences to
transcend the limits of habitual
perception. It seeks to shift the
observer's attention from the physical
objects that stimulate perception to the
act of perception itself.
"Concurrent with the cognitive space of
apprehended sounds, a separate view can
be opened onto the physical life of
waves."
(R. Ganchrow, Hear and There: Notes on
the Materiality of Sound)
The immersive environments presented
here by 42 artists from 13 different
countries incite a unique multi-sensory
awareness of both physical and mental
(imagined) space. Some works directly
examine the slipping contours of kinetic
phenomena, involving magnetism (Kanta
Horio), fluid dynamics (Skoltz Kolgen),
or acoustic levitation
(Domnitch/Gelfand/Chartier). Others have
invented an impossible phantom
spatiality, stemming, for example, from
brain wave interference (Ulf
Langheinrich) or stereoscopically
rendered interferential video signals
(Bas van Koolwijk). All the pieces
entail a search for hidden, transitory
spaces that crosswire the perceptual
spectrum. After being presented
worldwide (Sonic Acts, Elektra, Sonar,
Nemo...) in the form of Surround Cinema
as well as in the Optofonica Capsule (a
tactile audio installation), this body
of work, spanning 3 years, has been
painstakingly archived, preserving as
much as possible the intricacies of each
composition.

Instead of creating mere objects of
aesthetic seduction, a new form of art
is surfacing that invites audiences to
transcend the limits of habitual
perception. It seeks to shift the
observerÆs attention from the physical
objects that stimulate perception to the
act of perception itself. Immersivity
awakens a multi-sensory awareness of
both physical and mental space.
Founded in 2006 by artist and producer
TeZ, Optofonica is a platform for
immersive art-science situated in
Amsterdam (NL). The works presented on
this DVD (in 5.1 surround and stereo
sound options) were commissioned by
Optofonica to stimulate the combined
research of sound spatialization and
synesthetic immersion.
Optofonica #1 was assembled by curator,
TeZ and is produced by Optofonica in
collaboration with LINE and with the
support of ARCADI (Action rΘgionale pour
la crΘation artistique et la diffusion
en ╬le-de-France) and FONDS BKVB.
