PRESENTATION OF THE INSTALLATION "DISLOCATION"
Alex presented his installation "Dislocation", which is a mixed reality installation that extends the bounds of sound and image technology to construct and manipulate truths through illusion. The work examines how physical and emotional responses can be induced by controlled artificial environments.
"Peering into the portals of 'Dislocation', we become auto-voyeurs. As we watch, we see and hear scenarios play out behind us but turn around, and the room is empty. The simultaneous presence and absence of these phantoms defies rational thought or experience and creates a haunting atmosphere. Meticulously mapped, and programmed to layer pre-recorded sequences with real-time footage, 'Dislocation' builds an environment of deception and uncertainty. Its subtlety and cunning displaces our reliance upon, and trust of our own distinct emotional responses to the presence of others."
