NECERTA PERCEPTO (2020)
– sound and light installation –
NECERTA PERCEPTO (uncertain perception, in Esperanto) explores the gap between what we observe and what we perceive. While our senses gather raw data through sight and sound, the mind constructs meaning through cross-modal influence and pattern recognition—processes far more complex than observation alone.
The work manipulates multi-modal perceptual mechanisms by mapping relationships between sound frequencies and color wavelengths. Deliberately avoiding visual or auditory focal points, the space is activated through precise manipulation of these elements, rendering physical materiality from two intangible mediums. The experience is first physical and aesthetic, but also invites reflection on our perceptual limitations and how we construct understanding of the world.
Am I hearing what I see? Am I seeing what I hear? Perceive yourself perceiving.
