Empty Set

Published by albenski on

The performance Empty Set is based on the mathematical definition of the empty set. We develop an interactive control between the different sets on the stage. The musical instrument is transformed into control of the real-time video mix. Separate visual and auditory elements are connected on the principle of confrontation of empty and full, pause and note, set and empty set. We oppose zero to one, variety to nothing, the definite to the indefinite, a musical pause to a constant vibration, a computer-generated image to the details of the human body.In this way we search for the meaning of the empty set within the set.
