The viewer in a room listens to the one piece for solo cello that with
the particular dynamics reaches ecstatic sound characteristics. The
composition is based on a certain module structure, which allows to
retrieve and to play singular sequences in such a way, that the recipient
can not perceive any break in the musical structure of the composition.
The macro shooting of the violoncellis´s hands is projected on
the screen. With the low depth of focus the video images oscillate between
concrete realism and abstraction. Mu A Zi Kyong is a very
common Korean phrase. It describes the state of mind engrossing, self-oblivion,
which affiliates to Buddhist philosophy. The title of this interactive
video-sound-installation that was realised in a cooperation with composer
Theodor Pauss, violoncellist Oliver Mascarenhas and programmer Yunchul
Kim alludes to those moments, which cannot be controlled by an individual
himself: non self situation is the moment of letting something
happen, of sinking into broader wholeness of going on. The
musical modules, always combined with corresponding images, programmed
in such a way, that the dynamics of the music correlates the number
of the viewers, in other words, the more viewers enter the room, the
more ecstatic becomes the sound. In accordance with the intensifying
sound, video images commence to be more abstract. The dynamics is consequently
influenced by the entered viewers. Additionally, in order to avoid permanent
repetitions, the programmed modules structure is also influenced by
the random factor.
