HC Gilje: Conversations with spaces
Research Fellow at Bergen National Academy of the Arts, Dept of Fine Art
A project using audiovisual tools to transform, create, expand, amplify and interpret physical spaces.
I want to explore and interact with the environment using audiovisual media, to create a poetics of everyday life. This is partly inspired by ideas of the embodied mind from cognitive science, from psychogeography about the individual´s relation to its environment, and expanded cinema.
To move in space and to organize in space is a way to think, dream and remember. My point of entry into communicating with a space is in the crosspoint of a specific time and location, and how motion connects the concepts of time and space, and thus the relation between the present and the memory of a space.
I draw on my experiences from improvisation, site-specific work,experimental film/video, realtime systems and stagework to create a set of tools and methods to be able to interact with a space.
My project is structured around four research areas, which all relate to capturing, processing/structuring, and projecting into a space:
The focus of space through image,light and sound
Multichannel composition and choreographed motion using image and sound
Time-space relation
Sensing and changing the space through physical computing
