Vector Field
The audiovisual artist Eric Raynaud, aka Fraction, presents “Vector Field”, in which he explores the real-time manipulation of a vectorial stream. The result is an ode to the art of transformation.
Like many contemporary scientists, the artist also proceeds from the idea that time does not exist and is only a human perception of change in transitory states. There is no before, and there will be no after. There is no past. There is no future.
Following this principle, in “Vector Field”, Fraction irradiates a three-dimensional homophonic structure, with deliberate reference to the science of topology and the common representation of sound waves in Western culture as the aesthetic framework for a computer-generated eddy current that embodies an elusive landscape.
