Audiovisual Installation

Through the image of rain, the project explores the generative patterns of nature and the systemic quality of natural randomness. A two-part mechanism reads the impulses of rain and translates them through sound and light, turning a flow of random rhythms into a living audiovisual system.

The chaotic rhythm of falling drops manifests as an ordered system — a sonic, visual and spatial pattern. Combining a live broadcast of rain with documentary recordings, the project forms a translocal space — a place outside time, where rain never stops and endlessly reproduces itself.

Each recorded raindrop triggers a response in the form of sound and light: a speaker reproduces a signal while LEDs arrange themselves into patterns and connections between impact points. In this way sound forms a spatial environment while light waves visualise its impulses, turning the random movement of drops into a sensory, visible system.

About the artist

Сергей Скурту — Россия

Sergey Skurtu (V-A-C Sreda) and Olesya Vaschenko (Sber AI) are interdisciplinary artists. Working at the intersection of sound art, engineering and contemporary art, the duo creates sounding objects and audiovisual experiences.

Their previous collaborative project — the electroacoustic object Lacrima — was part of an exhibition at the Russian Museum and a media art festival in St Petersburg, and featured in performances at the New Stage of the Alexandrinsky Theatre, Praktika Theatre and the Dom Cultural Centre.
