Artist Statement
Time, diffracted is a confessional, autofictional speculation on notions of time. While the starting point may be personal experience, my original writing is transfigured and transformed by a process of performative writing in which improvisation and the switching of order, of meanings, of subjectivities and components of the writing lead to new insights on the seeds of possibilities contained within my original text. The work is a navigable 3D non-linear audio experience in which listeners choose what they want to listen to by walking around in an environment with no visual cues. Voice recordings are complemented and juxtaposed with the meanings inherent in soundscape recordings and small musical loops. The video prepared for ISEA 2024 captures one possible reading of the work.
