volume incidence (2009)
We sometimes react singularly when immersed in loud volume environments, paying attention to things and losing interest a few seconds later, mentally recording events or sounds in a sporadic manner. Volume Incidence tries to evoke this particular hearing situation, without the diffusion of a sound recording. On a surface covered by paper elements, magnetite microcrystals are moving alternatively around several points. Magnetite and magnetism are both used by man and nature to record events and for orientation purposes, here they are used to imagine a particular state of perception or a specific listening context.
