Environnement Chromointerférent
Paris 1974/2016The
objective of the Chromointerferent Environments is to create a situation
in space involving the dematerialization, transfiguration, and ambiguity of
color through movement. The constant movement of the projection makes people
and objects seem transparent and, in this virtual state, they change shape and
become “actors” in the experience and “authors” of a chromatic event that
evolves in real time and space.
« The
Chromointerferent Environments alter the space, thus transforming everything
inside it. The first one, in 1974, had fewer colors than the most recent ones,
but already generated what I call a relationship between a constant and a
variable. The variable was the pattern in motion and the constant was the
shadow [that the viewers] projected on the moving patterns. The interaction
between variable and constant caused a sensation of instability that is similar
to the experience of sitting on a train and thinking that “your train” is
moving. But it is not; the train beside yours is the one that’s moving. The
Chromointerference produces an ambiguity of perceptive instability. » CRUZ-DIEZ, 2011
