Apophenia
Apophenia is audio-visual installation, made up oF 16 α lamps linked together, and controlled by a specific video timeline.
The video controls the 3 led source of each lamp and connect the object with the external environment, creating a graphic connection amongst them.
Apophenia is the experience of seeing patterns or connections in random or meaningless data.
It does not provide insight into the true nature of reality or its interconnectedness, but is a “process of repetitively and monotonously experiencing abnormal meanings in the entire surrounding experiential field which are entirely self-referential, solipsistic and paranoid” (Conrad, klaus -1959 / “gestaltanalyse und daseinsanalytik”).
With this installation we want to offer an intuitive view which leads the audience to discover concealed patterns through the use of shapes and hidden symbols that merge with the real objects.
Seeing patterns where in fact, none exist...
