Four videos from Chris Musgrave’s series Oscilloclast.
Text and links below from the artist’s site:
Oscilloclast is a growing body of work which includes Gyre, Moiré, Pulsed, Dynamo and Reverberating Furnace. Image and sound are delivered as a singular, dense experience. Electricity is shaped into audio wave forms of harmonic oscillation and noise, which also drive the video emissions of hue, tone and rhythm.
This synaesthetic signal induces an atmosphere of driving energy using the perceptual phenomena of the motion after effect and chromatic afterimage. By scrambling ordinary perception and logical thought patterns, this material is hypnotic and entraining. It is a neural transmitter of non-linguistic, non-narrative information, an exchange of abstract units.
