Things inside other things

17:00–18:00.
Four one–hour recordings are made in four main locations of the divided city of Nicosia.

The empty canvas follows a subdivision process driven by the numerical values of the city’s soundscape. As the output moves towards ambiguity and all recognizable elements disappear, the observer is confronted with an abstract map that no longer carries cultural characteristics of ‘this’ or ‘the other’ community, nor does it force comparative connotations. It is instead offered as an unsolvable riddle, a new kind of city map generated by the city itself.

The produced drawing’s constellations emerge at manifold scales, as the algorithms determine the overall form as well as generate the various microscopic details. The drawings, though computationally designed, exist as such only in printed form, where the visibility of each of their components is directly related to the observer’s distance.

Sit. Move.

Two players.
Two acts.

Act 1 :
Two players sit simultaneously at a fixed point and record their experience in a structured manner – adjective noun verb, one man walking, white car passing.
How can two different ways of seeing be compared?

Act 2 :
Two players move separately and exchange maps that point to the places they explored.
How can their distinct experience of things construct a collective map?

The process is presented in the form of a book in two levels:
The bound section of the book, the raw material or the moment of acting and reenacting.
The unbound section of the book, the processing or response to the recorded material.
