Fuzz
Selected for presentation at the 2010 ISCM World Music Days in Sydney, Australia.
Fuzz is a collaboration between audiovisual artist Marcel Wierckx
and composer Roderik de Man, based on a concept by Jorge Isaac. It
was inspired by László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), the modernist
co-founder of the Bauhaus, who was fascinated by the new
technologies of his time such as film and photography. In 1930 he
built the Licht-Raum-Modulator, a kinetic sculpture that gave a
glimpse of the 4th dimension via shadows and reflections. The
multimedia composition and installation Fuzz is an attempt to
recreate the experience that Moholy-Nagy sought: a synthesis of
light, colour and movement, exploring the artistic possibilities of
these new media.
