Mezzo, 2008

24 monitors (ceiling suspended) and speakers, Video, digital images , sonic sensors, Audio capture of energy shifts of Planetary shifts, solar radiation, Magnetic pole shifts, Cosmic Background radiation, and 140 other capture sources.

What do you think of when you hear the word energy? Mezzo explore a large number of images and sounds associated with energy and the many themes this has given rise to in the human mind and beliefs. On 24 small monitors images flicker, pause, return, creating an open fabric of the meanings of energy from the beginnings of the ideas of amber and static electricity to the electro-magnetic pulse of the earth, and forming for the viewer a open field for a myriad reflexions of what energy could be.
When you approach the installation, audio is triggered becoming louder the as one approaches the monitors. The Kinetic energy of the viewer translated into the power that the sounds are given. These sound themselves reflect energy and its sonic representations. Varying from such divergent sources as the captured voices of ionic energy shifts on Venus to the largest sound of all created by the background radiation generated by the Big Bang these sounds as well confront us with the vast possibilities of energy which we have only just begun to explore and understand.
Using this logic of the beginnings of our understandings the title Mezzo should be taken more as a temporal than spatial element. We only now, at this time, can begin an understanding of energy which may free us as opposed to constrain us.
