Materialized Moments (3D Projection Mapping at Kiev Light Festival)
Bespoke Work • Sound Design

«Materialized Moments» is an artistic vision of the relation between space and time. A moment in time is essentially what reality is to our senses. Niculin Barandun (Visuals) and Natureboy Flako / Dario Rojo Guerra (Sound Design) explore the world of micro- and meso-scale patterns, at a moment in our shared time defined by frames per second and other frequencies laid out on a timeline, creating a journey through sound and vision. Dynamic and balance play an important role in narrating the coexistence of order and chaos throughout the piece.

Although the artists are working with digital means, images of nature in its many forms and shapes are the basis of all visuals and sounds created. They might be plants, space, or a mini cosmos observed through a magnifying glass.

Curiosity is what drives Natureboy Flako (Dario Rojo Guerra) and Niculin Barandun most, and curiosity is what remains with the viewer throughout the piece. The journey leads through places we’ve known and yet they now become somehow unfamiliar. The scale of our view determines how we perceive the mini cosmos in which we find ourselves. Depending on where you’re standing and in which direction you are looking, you will find many, if not endless layers, of perspectives that will seem to be a growing world in itself. Frequencies that unfold through stereo images, connected to visual impressions that reflect the never-ending loop of life, reflect the constant stream of energy that is only disrupted by looking at «Materialized Moments».
