Pattern 3

Pattern III is an audiovisual installation surrounding the audience standing at the centre of an interference between visual and auditory patterns.
Sine waves pattern coming in different ways from the loudspeakers on the left and right sides of the perceivers give birth to a third figure resulting from the interferences between the emitted frequencies.
This is a pattern that is not originally existing in the sounds coming from the two loudspeakers as it is generated in real time from the relationship between the sound coming from the left and from the right both as physical interferences (the “beats”)
and as effect of the neurological structure of listening (the so called “binaural beats”).
At the same time, two visual objects are projected on screen with high movement resolution (120 frames for second) generating motion interferences so to realize themselves a third visual pattern synchronized with the transformation of sound. The evocation from nowhere of the complex audiovisual third pattern is at the same time mesmeric and surprising, as it puts the perceiver in front of the creative power of its own perception.
