PROJECT
DESCRIPTION
Pygar is a sensorial experience, more than an intellectual one,
which function is the total integration of those latent
energies/forces within us all; it is the result of the passion for
combining sound and image with technology, experimenting, and the
search for our "self".
The performance evolves with no directives to follow, everything is
spontaneous.
Sounds/images presented, in normal conditions, would never reach
our ears/eyes.
Superficial textures of slow hashing are created, involving
repeated actions or minimal gestures gradually developed; art and
technology are matched - mediating, inductive and activating tools
of experiences - to rearrange dreamy vestiges; editing/manipulation
processes and new relations between sound and image are explored -
the symbiosis between sound and image, connecting and manipulating
music/video in real time.
Pygar is in permanent evolution as a concept of sound and
image...
