Artist Statement

SpaceTime Helix is an audiovisual performance with an optoacoustic instrument by Michela Pelusio, forming a large helicoid up to the ceiling. The helix surface is bright and transparent, with waves running over it, disappearing into the future, more and more distant in space-time. The translucent standing wave climbs and arcs towards the ceiling as minimal sounds harmonize with its flux. Quantum physics meets audiovisual experimentation in this performance, exploring helical symmetries and infinity, frequencies and geometry, sonic visions and perceptions. The hardware and software of the helix were developed and custom-designed by Michela, allowing for precise control and interaction with light, sound, and touch.  Video: WorkingonSpaceTimeHelix   Space Time Helix
