FUZZ
FUZZ is a multisensory work based on the subjectivity of perception.
Movement, patterns, links, contrast, vision, feeling, hearing and logic: they are all parameters of prime significance for human perception. In FUZZ, each parameter represents a particular expression. Depending upon an individual's background, imagination or emotional state, it will evoke a different meaning or emotion.
FUZZ features a sequence of five scenarios, each with its own aesthetic and poetics. Electronic sounds, energetic and deeply layered music, computer generated images and 3D video projection, immerse the spectator in an abstract and imaginary world for seven minutes.
FUZZ was inspired by László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), the modernist co-founder of the Bauhaus, who was fascinated by the new technologies of his time such as film and photography. In 1930 he built the Licht-Raum-Modulator, a kinetic sculpture that gave a glimpse of the 4th dimension via shadows and reflections. The multimedia composition and installation FUZZ is an attempt to recreate the experience that Moholy-Nagy sought: a synthesis of light, colour and movement, exploring the artistic possibilities of these new media.

Technical information:
FUZZ can be presented as a multisensory installation, or as an audiovisual work in concert halls, theatres or cinemas.
The multisensory installation can be placed in many different venues, such as exposition spaces, weekend festivals, museums, listening rooms, a.o. The piece lasts 7 minutes and it is repeated as long as necessary.
The set has a triangle form. The frame is made of aluminum, covered by black textile (fireproof). The inside is covered by sound isolation foam. The maximum capacity of the installation is 3 visitors at the same time. The video is projected by a 120 cm High Definition LCD screen. The audience should wear standard Anaglyph (red-cyan) 3D Glasses in order to see the 3D images and a headphone for the audio.
A small table with a laptop, audio and midi interfaces are placed next to the installation for its operation. The size of the installation is 350 x 300 x 250 cm (BxLxH). We provide all the necessary equipment. We just need a power connection (220V) close to the area where the installation will be placed.
The audiovisual version is ideal for large screens (cinemas) or multiple screen presentations. The audio playback is in 5.1 Surround. The audience should wear standard Anaglyph (red-cyan) 3D Glasses in order to see the 3D images.
