Brief Gaze

– Umut Eldem

‘Brief Gaze of the Infinite Maze’ is an interactive installation in which the viewer can explore an almost-infinite, synaesthetic audiovisual space. Fractals are infinitely complex, never ending visual patterns. In this installation, each frame is turned into a soundscape in real time using an algorithm analyzing the perception of colors and shapes on the screen. The infinitely complex patterns turn into an ever-changing world of sound: Exploring the fractals creates complementary sonic events reflecting the viewer’s unique journey in this audiovisual world.
