Artist Statement
«Presento una serie di composizioni ambientali relative al mio progetto artistico “Manifest Unmanifest” create con vari media fra cui video, disegno, incenso, performance e suono. Questa sintesi espressiva crea uno spazio intersoggettivo che prende forma in un continuum unificato. Rifiutando la nostra attuale modalità percettiva che pone l’accento sulla ‘vista’ come modello principale di organizzazione del sensorio, questa serie di opere enfatizza la totalità delle percezioni sensoriali come una singola unità per creare uno stato di immersione.
La video installazione multicanale RICE (1999) contiene immagini astratte e non-oggettive. Il video è realizzato con immagini che cambiano in continuazione. Può esserci un numero sempre maggiore di fluttuazioni di ampiezza viceversa sempre minore. A differenza di un pattern ottico ripetitivo, le immagini di RICE sono un processo nel tempo che riflette i sistemi di formazione auto-organizzati utilizzati per creare una struttura da tutti gli esseri viventi in natura.
The Tone-field: Perceptible Arithmetical Relations in a Cycle of Eight Indian Raga Scale Permutations, 19 VI 01 – 19 VI 09, Udine è una installazione sonora “time-space specific”, che contiene 8 scale modali, intrecciate a formare accordi verticali. Ogni scala modale contiene da 46 a 64 frequenze sinusoidali continue sintonizzate in modo preciso su rapporti specifici estesi su dieci ottave. In The Tone-field, lo spazio e la struttura musicale sono concomitanti dove lo spazio diventa la scala musicale. Il corpo dell’ascoltatore è completamente avvolto dal suono e condivide le sue dimensioni con la struttura numerica dei rapporti intervallari che si manifestano. »

Sound and Light Environment
The Tone-field: Perceptible Arithmetical Relations in a Cycle of Eight Indian Raga Scale Permutations, 19 VI 01 – 19 VI 09, Udine, 2017 – 2019, sound environment: an audibly perceptible number-field that orbits through eight modal scales based on the ancient raga systems of India. The 24-hour cycle of The Tone-field is recalculated daily to create a modal scale that is appropriate for the time of day corresponding to the movement of the Sun in Udine, Italy.
RICE, 1999, variable dimensions; multi-channel video installation.
Light Point Drawing #31, 2019, 48 x 48 inches, mixed media: black wrap with pinholes, white diffusion gel, colored gels and LED lights.
Artist Statement
I have presented series of environmental compositions involving the concept of ‘Manifest, Unmanifest’ created with various media including video, drawing, incense, performance and sound. This synthesis of expression collectively creates an intersubjective space as a unified continuum. In rejecting our current mode of perception that stresses ‘sight’ as the primary model of organizing the sensorium, this series of works emphasizes the totality of sense perceptions as a single unit to create a state of immersion.
The multi-channel video installation, RICE (1999) contains abstract and non-objective images. The video is a realization of ever-changing sustained images. There can be an ever-larger number of fluctuations of ever-smaller amplitude. Unlike a repetitive optical pattern, the RICE images are a process in time that reflects the self-organized formation systems used to create structure by all living things in nature.
The Tone-field: Perceptible Arithmetical Relations in a Cycle of Eight Indian Raga Scale Permutations, 19 VI 01 – 19 VI 09, Udine is a time-space specific sound installation, which contains 8 modal scales, each of which includes frequency relationships to be sustained as a simultaneous chord. Each modal scale contains 46 to 64 continuous sine wave frequencies precisely tuned to specific ratios stretched across ten octaves. In The Tone-field, the space and the musical structure are concomitant where the space becomes the musical scale. The listener’s body is completely enveloped by sound and shares its dimensions with the numerical structure of the present intervallic ratios.
