Paralysis by Analysis

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.

Quarantine Self Portait

The quarantine's experience time has functioned as a humanized time. Its previous social barbarity was imprisoned in the familiar cage of my soul and became my creation time. Each day was my friend, an eternal circular and dynamic present, a consciousness without conflicts. It was like an eternity that is experienced differently every moment. An unprecedented form of stillness gripped me and perpetuated in many abstract fragments which finally formed the new texture of my existence, in this peculiar isolation. I became from the carcass of time I was before, its qualitative disintegration… Reality was distorted and experienced illusively. The time from the alienation that was before, was transformed and became the cover for the scratched truth of myself. This kind of time my conscience had dreamed to live.

INRIRI - Interactive Audiovisual Theatrical Performance

Myths are living stories that grow with time, change, adapt, but continue being a source for research, inspiration and creativity. The interactive audiovisual theatrical performance INRIRI questions the adaptation of an archetypal myth at a time of many dimensions and levels with elements from physical theater and embedded interactive technology in the performing space. Parts of the story are a Caribbean myth which transforms the body, a woodpecker and some new experimental technologies. On stage two bodies try to communicate with themselves and the environment around them and to discover anew what a body can be, what the relation and connection with the other body and which are the influences of the surrounding space on them.

The subject of Charis Myrsilidi’s thesis concerns the transfer of literary text to image. The excerpts of the selected texts are stories from the Grimm brothers' fairy tales and the connecting link is the pattern of transformation (metamorphosis).
