AGENESIS (ROBERT CURGENVEN & KATHLEEN MCDOWALL)
AGENESIS (noun) - a partial or complete absence. AGENESIS unleashes a polyrhythmic phasing in light and sound - a collapse in depth perception to bring the collective bodies of the audience and the surrounding room into a physical constellation of head-wrecking quasi-synaesthesia. The 1:1 relationship between the sound driving the light via custom-made lighting software draws from Edwin Land's work with light shadows following his invention of Polaroid photography and sunglasses - themselves processes which eliminate to allow us to see differently, a new whole from a partial or complete absence.
