longing for sight

a place where unseen memories are collected. a place of isolation and of expanse, where inner and outer meet. a place that is so intimate that it needs to be shared. a place where you can wander around and feel safe. a place to get lost in.

a place that allows you to be guided towards seeing beyond. a place to rest in and to dare, where control and the loss of it are two sides of the same coin. a place that acknowledges all the unseen, all the disharmony, the edge. a place that is between death and life. a playground for anyone so that the rules to which the world operates can be rebuilt and wounds and scars can be healed. It is a shameless place, where all pretenses can be dropped. a raw place.

a light hole

The light hole is a pre-sight space. It is a space where pre-conscious memories, the memories containing fleeting, the DNA of our essence are translated into images and sounds. If we die, sounds linger longest, and in this light hole too it is what remains with us most, after all the images have faded. The space is universal and specific at the same time. This is its essence. It is a speechless space, a light hole in a dark universe. The light hole is the inner space in yourself, already enlightened. It stands for places in our shared pre-conscious that we constantly long for, that we are attracted to but don’t know why yet.

We’ve collected re-thought images, video and sound here

it’s snowing at the listening post

snow at the listening post

Art month has come and gone. Our listening post has withstood an autumn gale, was blown down, resurrected again and bravely weathered what the winter would throw at it. Now, work in the studio continues, and the focus has shifted back to the camera. Circling in, sharpening our razor.

seeing whispers

We just completed the texture track for the Be Quiet Eyes remix for Haglet Alter. For now we’re whispering in the infrasonic space.

evening whispers

no wind was heard, some chickens, a rooster, few sparrows and...

angels resurrect the listening post

Eventually, the Force 10 gale Force 9 gale that hit Ameland lifted the listening post from its pole holes and put it down gently, and in one piece, in the field. Yesterday afternoon, five angels put it back where it belongs.

peripheral fear

We’re in the process of preparing a new installation that is based on atavistic sensory perception. We use subsonic sound and manipulate the peripheral visual field to create an experience of fear and the supernatural. Warning if you listen to the video: be careful if you use headphones, and don’t attempt playback over common subwoofers

showing at “be my guest”

We’re showing work at “be my guest” a group exhibition that can be found at The Diaghilev, 56 Mazeh Street, Tel Aviv. Hotels and hotel rooms are very dear to our heart, and it’s a first for us to be showing work inside a hotel room. On show are photographs, and a collection of 1.30 minute short videos. The exhibition was curated by Keren Bar Gil.

be quiet eyes showing at KM10

rethinking visual’s installation “be quiet eyes” will be showing during Art Month Ameland, on the Dutch island of Ameland at “Dit Eiland“, the gallery of cross-media artist Timo Mank (Archipel Media Lab). “be quiet eyes” exists in the real world in the field behind the gallery, where it is the complement to the remains of a round silo. Here, rethinking visual have built a listening post, a shelter, containing an extract of the sounds of the field that were recorded during a month long period. This sound mapping had its basis in Second Life, where it was designed, and its virtual model in Second Life is shown in Museum Sorgdrager Huis as the second installation to this piece.

In its construction, the listening post refers to the surrounding landscape and the old dike on which it stands, being built from willow saplings that are harvested from the land itself.The felt is likewise a natural material used in the building of mongolian yurts.The effect is one of insulation and protection, a shelter where sight is switched off and sound becomes the dominant sensory stimulus.
