OPUS



Interactive multimedia artifact,
a sculpture of parametric design
with a sensor that reacts to the movement around it.




The purpose of art is not the release of a momentary ejection of adrenaline but rather the gradual, lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity.

SONIC SCULPTURE: OPUS

Vertical LED sculpture of two meters high, made of acrylic material with motion sensors, LED light and sound system.

The sensor system analyzes space within the artifact, these data are organized according to the Pythagorean principles and generate harmonic oscillations.
Depending on the activity of the spectators, the sculpture reproduces a unique sonic scale and pulsating radiance.

In other words: viewers of the exposition and their activity near the artifact control the audio-visual space of the sculpture, plunging into the process of interaction with the object and creating a collective and whole musical composition.

OPUS was one of the first works in collaboration with the architect Vladimir Antoshchenkov, and was first presented at the Manege of St. Petersburg in the context of the SONICOLOGY event, dedicated to sound ecology.

SONICOLOGY
Manege, St Petersburg
The debut of the sound sculpture OPUS in the Manege of St. Petersburg at the exhibition, dedicated to the relationship of sound in space.

"The sound is transcendental by default, it does not have an exact place, like, for example, a body, or another material object." The sound extends beyond the body or any other source. "Man regulates the sound with music that is available for repetition, reproduction, sound objects, they can belong to someone, when the recognized boundaries of the object are understood Expressed, say, in notes, but the sound itself does not belong to anyone. In principle, the noise of the machine can be attributed to the machine, but the sound from the speakers - it does not belong um columns? Not owned computer.

A voice can belong to a person, but, by and large, it belongs, rather, speech, but a shout, out-of-speech singing, some throaty singing - is it, without a visible source, whose? And what about real-time singing?

If the sound is transcendental, a non-everyday sound, filling the space, creates a space of transcendence. "
