Mnemorphosis 2013
Mnemorphosis is a multimedial Installation in which a projector impress a phosphorescent pigment (Zinc Sulfide) contained in a plexiglass case.
The case’s lower surface is a membrane placed on a loudspeaker’s cone.
The cone’s vibrations scatters and rearranges the images memorized
by the pigment.
Mnemorphosis rises as a translation’s attempt of the process of the memory’s decay, dispersion an metamorphosis.
Concept and Direction: Silvio Mancini (Harto)
Technical development: Daniele Mancini
We would like to implement a new version of this project using some techniques such as laser in addition to projection.
D-phragma 2023
D-Phragma is an audiovisual live set that unfolds through two distinct modes of sound-light interaction: one is continuous, cyclical, and organic, while the other is punctual and rhythmic.
This duality is manifested in two aesthetic dimensions that divide, at times intertwining, the space that hosts the performance into two parts: the first sees expansive and vibrant soundscapes merging with the continuous morphing diffractions of a laser beam, while the second is structured along the longitudinal arrangement of 8 pairs of pulsating lights following polyrhythmic sonic patterns.
The live set unfolds as a journey aimed at sensorially and cognitively manipulating the experience of temporal flow, juxtaposing fragmented progressions with unbroken, linear, and cyclical evolution.
Note: The text above was written by the Artist. No modification was made by COCA.
