Marko Batista and Srdjan Deba: Electronic Church

Sound&light installation

The project entitled Electronic Church is an electro-acoustic and lighting installation, in which the artist explores architectural relations between physical properties of light and the waving of acoustic sound echoes in the space. His theoretical understanding emanates from the heritage of lumino-kinetic explorations of op-art and minimalism. “Experimental involvement in the sensorial experience activates in the viewer a specific manner of perception; he or she tackles ideas about the immaterial, since the lighting objects erase the border between physical occupation of the space by a certain object on the one hand, and its capability as a production space to be a suggestive and atmospheric environment by itself. In this manner I draw near the relationship between the light and the sound as substances that can be shaped in a series of experimental processes in such a manner that the light, the volume and the range of sound waving represent a move from the relations within a sculpture to the relationship between the viewer and the conceptualisation of physical architectures of acoustics and light.” /Marko Batista/
