ZEE is a rigorous mindscape; a hallucinatory architecture of pure light; a dream machine.
An enclosed
space is filled with a dense, odorless fog that completely obscures the
walls, floor and ceiling. Individuals freely roam this environment,
safely guided by ropes, while flickering light filters through the haze,
inducing hallucinations and sensory distortions within each viewer. An
ambient soundscape intensifies this full-immersion experience, shifting
dynamically according to changes in the color, frequency and intensity of the lights....
Kurt
Hentschläger, a Chicago-based Austrian artist, was last in NYC as one half of
the Austrian duo Granular Synthesis with the spectacular video and sound
environment "NoiseGate" in 2000, part of Creative Time's "Art in the
Anchorage."
