Waveform B takes place in a white field defined on the floor; a loop with audiovisual and control signals.
Projections and stroboscopic effects confront the visitor with radically different impressions that, due to the flickering and vibration, are also constantly changing. In the artist`s words, the space is in “constant oscillation.”
The acoustic material-an almost frozen harmonic cluster, that allay the room – is reproduced by means of several loudspeakers and generates in the room a fundamental colour of indifferent spatialisation.
The viewer will have different experiences in the room, depending on his/her position in the room. This is important, as many visual sensations are based on precisely dosed visual stimuli, that are above all a drifting buzz that changes very slowly and an empty blue chromatic surface in various amplitudes. There is no gesture here, no object, no manifest direction movement, but a precise score. The viewer sees a very homogenous image that seems to be generated directly on the membrane of the surface of reflecxtion. It is generated by means of stroboscopes and projections. Image and sound are synchronised in a few moments. They are also associated in the sense that they evoke parallely in the same room a sort of specific supposition: oscillation, flickering, silence.
