Post-Infinity, installed at the Kaohsiung International Container Arts Festival, is an immersive undulating hypnotic architectural video and sound installation. The video is created from four digital composite photographs of iconic structures representing the industrial and modern ages: the Brooklyn Bridge, a water tower on the NJ Turnpike, the John Hancock Tower and the Rose Planetarium. The sound composition, conceived in parallel, is created from short samples of vocal chanting from four different cultures and time periods: the Wogogo, a Zimbabwean tribe; 13 Century Quranic chanting; Tibetan prayer chants of Buddhist nuns; and polyphonic female voices from a 15 century French composition.
Both the video and sound installation sample sources that stretch across cultures and across time and place, combining and presenting them in a new form only possible with the ever increasing speed harnessed by digital technology. It is this speed that pushes us ever closer to a “post-civilization.” Yet, it is this speed itself that offers endless potential. It is the goal of Post-Infinity to absorb the viewer in a meditation on this potential.
