Convergenze parallele
Dust, spotlight, fan, video camera, projector, custom software system

"Convergenze parallele" is an audiovisual installation in which airborne dust particles passing through a beam of light are tracked, visualized, and sonified in real-time by a custom software system. The installation reacts to air movements in the exhibition space, allowing the viewer to see and hear the amplified movement of dust particles. "Convergenze parallele" explores the poetic potential of revealing and transforming the imperceptible, and attempts to sensitize observers to the intangible energies and perpetual transformations of natural phenomena.
