Paralysis by Analysis

Views: 544

The audiovisual work "Paralysis by Analysis" presents a combined experience that unfolds in two chapters of two and three dimensions respectively. Initially, it is a two-layered audio-reactive visual piece influenced by the musical composition being played. Subsequently, we transition into three dimensions where we observe a system of particles being born, evolving, and dying, while simultaneously, the musical piece has transformed into a hypnotic drone. With this piece, Evangelos attempts to narrate and describe the phenomenon and psychological burden of information overload, a process in which we continuously receive stimuli and data that we try to process and assimilate. For this purpose, we borrow the term "Paralysis by Analysis," an economics studies term, which expresses a disturbance in thinking, the process of information processing, and ultimately the inability to make decisions due to the enormous volume of data we receive. According to this terminology, a person, unable to analyze the entirety of the options available to them (due to the abundance of information), struggles to make decisions and choose the appropriate option for them. The variables are too many, and the person buckles under their weight, unable to balance and analyze them. The work has been created in the environment of visual programming TouchDesigner, and the musical piece is derived from Evangelos's personal discography.

When the observer is standing in front of a work of art and is trying to comprehend it, they are consciously entering a recognition process. This is achieved because the brain recognizes the relationship between some shapes or colors in the piece of art and, automatically, recalls them from memory. This procedure creates the necessary conditions for the creation of new neural synapses. Using these facts?, the artist suggests an audiovisual performance that includes an interference of audio to the visual aspect? in real time.

EX-SITU [existing situations]. Destruction as an social-artistic practice.
Views: 1570

EX-SITU[existing situations] is an interactive installation that incorporates a computer, sound, and lighting technologies in which users/ viewers take part in the destruction of the painting by stepping on it. At the same time, a motion tracking system marks visitors and a light spot tracks them.​
The content of EX SITU calls for awareness of social indifference, self-promotion, and their impact on society. The structure of EX SITU is intentionally ambiguous, revealing the obsession/fascination for the protection of material in contrast with the empathy for other people.
The interactive installation underlines the responsibility of individuals in society. The theoretical part analyses the Destruction in Art Symposium in 1966 and The bystander effect, or bystander apathy, in which individuals are less likely to offer help to a victim when other people are present.
