Ovskii is a live a/v performance of LoeeFrek generated bitmap visuals on
a screen. Designed by [Skoltz_Kolgen], LoeeFrek is both a production and creation tool, as well as a live performance software console and
interface. It allows transduction of audio information into digital video and live modification of them.
Ovskii is an attempt to paint with the sound, an acoustic pigment in real time. In its temporal unfolding the sound structures the performance into a time triptych (three themes/segments) that pulsates and colours the visuals. For instance in Mono - cellular life, the sounds texture is a
minimalist evocation of raw primary magma, primordial soup like activity.
The corresponding image clusters and visual parameters were chosen for their primordial simplicity, chaotic expanses and protocellular cracklings.
In Field of tension, the guiding sound/image motif is that of a magnetic force field. The result is an abstract energetic space in which two
organismes are caught in a state of oscillating tension (positive/negative).
The initial chaos and ensuing tension gradually move towards an
increased complexity from which StruKtür emerges. As the piece moves on in time and from one theme/segment to the next, sound and image textures enact this mounting complexification from chaotic behaviour,
to magnetic tension and emerging living forms.
