The title "Field 50/60" refers to the smallest unit of video signal — a field at a frequency of 50 or 60 hertz, the physical material from which our perception of moving time is woven. We don't work with what happens in the frame, but with when and for how long. Time becomes a substance, a fabric that can be stretched, compressed, and made to vibrate.
The best analogy for the viewer is a strobe light. In this media artwork, geometric shapes — red squares, white circles, "Prouns" — follow a stroboscopic pulse and exist only as long as a single "field" lasts: 1/50 of a second. The climax of the piece is a state we call "watching with eyes closed," when we can no longer keep up with the images, and sight gives way to sensation. This is an art of physical impact, where the main protagonist is not a figure on the screen, but rhythm itself.
The media artwork "Field 50/60" is presented at the "Play DigitalArt" festival in Yekaterinburg.
